Augusta resident Luke List was the first to record a hole-in-one during Wednesday's Par 3 contest at the 2024 Masters Tournament.

List spun his tee shot back toward the pin at the 140-yard sixth hole and it found the bottom of the cup for the 108th hole-in-one in contest history. He high-fived Keegan Bradley in his pairing before hugging family serving as his caddies.

List also had a hole-in-one as an amateur in 2005 when the Vanderbilt graduate aced the seventh hole.

The 39-year-old Seattle native relocated to Augusta several years back and has turned his focus more to family than golf. He's currently 37th in the FedEx Cup standings and qualified for this year's tournament by winning the Sanderson Farms Championship last October.

Gary Woodland makes second ace at Par 3 Contest Masters 2024

Gary Woodland made the 109th hole-in-one in contest history shortly after List when he also aced hole No. 6.

He celebrated with Mike Weir and Tom Watson of his pairing before receiving hugs from his wife and two kids.

Woodland returned to golf in January after having a brain tumor removed in September.

Former University of Georgia golfer Sepp Straka records hole-in-one

Just over an hour down the road from where he played college, Sepp Straka carded an ace at the 155-yard seventh hole during Wednesday's Par 3 contest.

The former University of Georgia golfer became the third of the day after List and Woodland aced the sixth hole.

Straka jumped into the arms of J.T. Poston before high-fiving fellow former Bulldog Chris Kirk and kissing his wife, Paige Dean.

Lucas Glover cards fourth ace of the day at Par 3 Contest
