Well now, you’re askin’ ’bout how many pars were made at the 2023 Masters, huh? Lemme tell you, it’s a big ol’ number, but I can break it down for you like I’m talkin’ to my neighbor while we’re sippin’ sweet tea on the porch. Now, the Masters is one of them fancy tournaments where all the big-time golf folks come together, and there’s a lotta talk about scores and who’s doin’ what.
So, first thing’s first, pars. You know what that is, right? It’s when a golfer hits the ball and gets it in the hole in the same number of strokes the hole is supposed to take. If a hole’s supposed to take 4 shots, and the golfer gets it in 4, that’s a par. Nothin’ fancy, just hittin’ it like they’re supposed to. Ain’t no hole-in-one magic happenin’ this year, though, no sir. The last hole-in-one at the Masters was back in 2022, when Stewart Cink did it. Ain’t nobody doin’ it in 2023, though, that’s for sure.
Now, let’s get to the numbers. During the 2023 Masters, there was a whole lotta pars happenin’, but you might be surprised by how many. See, when you add up all them rounds and players, you’re lookin’ at ‘round 2,200 pars made over the course of the tournament. That’s right, a whole mess of ‘em. Let me break it down further for you.
Breaking it down:
- Round 1 and 2: You got 89 players playin’ these rounds, and they ain’t messin’ around. A lotta them golfers are hittin’ the greens and makin’ par after par.
- Round 3 and 4: Now, by Saturday and Sunday, that number drops down to 50 players, but don’t let that fool you. There’s still a heap of pars bein’ made. All them players are goin’ for it, tryin’ to make the best of their game.
- In total: Add it all together, and you’re lookin’ at somethin’ like 2,200 pars made at Augusta this year. That’s a big ol’ number when you think about it.
But hey, we can’t forget about the winner, now can we? Jon Rahm came out on top, finishin’ with a score of 12 under par. Now that’s somethin’ to talk about. He made his pars and then some, ‘cause in the end, it’s all about them pars when it comes down to it.
In fact, Jon Rahm was one of the 93 players who made at least one round, and with that many folks playin’, it’s a miracle they didn’t just call the whole thing off due to the sheer number of pars bein’ made. I’m just sayin’, it’s a lotta strokes, and those golfers don’t mess around.
Now, you might be wonderin’, outta all them pars, how many of them were actually important in the grand scheme of things. Well, truth be told, them pars didn’t even make up 1.5% of the total strokes over the whole four days of play. Yeah, you read that right. There’s so many strokes in a Masters tournament that even all them pars barely make a dent in the grand total. Still, without ‘em, you ain’t got no tournament.
And when it comes down to it, the 2023 Masters was somethin’ else. A whole bunch of players, a whole bunch of pars, and of course, a whole lotta golf. Whether you’re watchin’ from the comfort of your home or you’re out there on the greens yourself, it’s somethin’ you just gotta appreciate.
