Frankie Fleetwood is determined to succeed at the 9th hole this year. The World No. 4 Tommy Fleetwood's son is set to take part in the Par 3 Contest at the Masters Tournament on Wednesday.

Last year, his tee shot at the 9th hole landed in Ike’s Pond. Now, he returns to get across the pond at the 120-yard hole. Tommy Fleetwood shared that Frankie has been practicing regularly. He was also present during his father's pre-tournament presser.

"I'm working on my driver there, I'm like making it bigger, because yesterday I tried it out shaft and it felt big, like a little big," said Young Fleetwood in a video shared by Fully Equipped via X on Wednesday.

"I couldn't go down with that one because after I did that, I went back to the other one with the shaft, and it was just small when I felt it again," he added.

That clip made its way online, and it didn’t take long for fans to pick up on Frankie Fleetwood’s candid take and start reacting across social media.
