Three groupings to watch at the 2026 Masters
Deep South Connect’s Ryne Dennis breaks down the three groupings to get golf fans excited for the Masters at Augusta National.
Shane Lowry just celebrated his 2026 Masters highlight on Saturday, April 11th.
On the sixth hole, a par 3, Lowry’s shot sliced right off the tee, carried all 190 yards to the green, bounced and rolled for a hole-in-one. The crowd at Augusta National roared in approval as Lowry began fist-pumping into the air.
Lowry’s ace put him at 8 under par and moved him from 6th to 2nd on the leaderboard. He is just four strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy, who is aiming to become the first golfer to win back-to-back Masters Championships since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002.
