Dakota Watson, daughter of pro-golfer Bubba Watson, stole the show at Augusta National even before the Masters began. During the Par 3 tournament last Wednesday, the 9-year-old, who was caddying for her dad, sunk an impressive putt, igniting cheers from the crowd.
Despite not shooting left-handed like her father, Dakota's skill and enthusiasm proved she's got the Watson touch. While Bubba geared up for his quest for a third Masters title, his daughter's memorable putt won hearts on the green.
People were so excited for her success.
Some folks put themselves in the elder Watson's shoes.
People agreed that this was often their favorite part of watching The Masters.
And some folks pointed out the significance of Dakota being a girl who made this shot.
She actually went three for three, The Masters later clarified.
Scottie Scheffler took home the top prize in the tournament.
