Why, you might wonder, was Kevin Hart, a comedian, swinging a golf club at Augusta National on Wednesday? Well …
Augusta’s Par 3 Contest, played annually on Wednesday ahead of the Masters, is hardly a serious affair. Kids use the course as a playground, while players take the day as a final bit of relaxation before getting down to business on Thursday.
That’s how Hart ended up becoming a caddie for Bryson DeChambeau.
The unlikely duo spent some time on the driving range prior to the round, where DeChambeau appeared to give Hart some pointers.

The two then made their way to the course, where Hart declared he was not the “global superstar,” he was there “to be the best caddie who ever caddied.”

But Hart would do more than caddie. At No. 8, he grabbed one of DeChambeau’s irons, stepped up to the ball and — telling DeChambeau he only needed one shot — did this:
"I WAS BUILT FOR THIS!" 😂
