Wednesday's Par-3 contest ahead of the 2024 Masters was full of many viral and cute moments shared between the professional golfers and their families, but Bubba Watson's daughter Dakota may have stole the show when it came to the actual golf.

By the end of Watson's round on Wednesday, Dakota had drained three amazing putts at Augusta National, something that not many people can say they've done.

The Watson duo was mic'd up during the first putt Dakota made, in which the two-time Masters champion can be heard cheering for his daughter. He then said she should pick the ball up out of the hole as a type of tradition for golfers, then he told her to wave to the crowd.

Each time Watson's daughter made a putt, the crowd would cheer as Dakota celebrated. Watson actually captured the final long putt Dakota made on his phone camera.

Here's the other two putts Dakota made on Wednesday.

It was definitely a round of golf the father-daughter duo will remember forever.
