The annual Augusta Par 3 contest is a much-awaited event in the world of golf. It not only provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere for players and their families, but it also gives fans a glimpse into the personal side of their favorite golfers. And for British golfer, Tommy Fleetwood, the Par 3 contest holds a special significance, as his 8-year-old son, Frankie, has become a popular name in the event.
However, this year’s contest just got a whole lot more interesting when young Frankie gave a blunt verdict on his father’s game during the Under the Umbrellas series, leaving everyone, including his father and host Kira K. Dixon, momentarily speechless.
Tommy Fleetwood, who is currently ranked #4 in the world, has had a successful career on the PGA Tour and has become a household name in the golfing world. However, it seems like his son, Frankie, has no intention of letting his father’s success go to his head. During the interview, when asked about his father’s game, Frankie did not hold back and gave a brutally honest assessment.
“He needs to work on his putting,” he declared without hesitation. The young prodigy then went on to explain that his father’s driving and ball-striking skills were impressive, but his putting needed improvement.
Tommy Fleetwood, who was sitting next to his son, couldn’t help but laugh at his son’s honesty and even admitted that Frankie was probably right. “He’s not wrong,” the golfer said with a smile.
But it wasn’t just Tommy who was left amused and impressed by his son’s verdict. Host Kira K. Dixon was also taken aback by the young boy’s maturity and knowledge of the game. “You’re my new co-host,” she joked with Frankie.
Frankie’s confident and candid response not only left everyone in the room impressed, but it also showed his love and understanding of the game. It’s not surprising that he has already developed a passion for golf at such a young age, given that his father is one of the best in the world.
This is not the first time that Frankie has made headlines in the golfing world. He has been a regular at the Par 3 contest since he was a toddler, and he has even caddied for his father at the event. In 2018, he won the hearts of fans when he stole the show by hitting a hole-in-one while caddying for his father. And this year, he once again proved that he is more than just a cute face in the crowd.
Tommy Fleetwood and his family have been spending a lot of time in the United States due to his busy schedule on the PGA Tour, and it seems like Frankie has been taking full advantage of this. He has been a regular at the Under the Umbrellas series, where he has been showcasing his golfing skills and even giving tips to other junior golfers.
But it’s not just his golfing skills that have caught the attention of the golfing world. Frankie has also become a social media sensation, with his adorable and funny videos with his father going viral. The father-son duo has become a fan-favorite, and it’s heartwarming to see the special bond they share.
The 8-year-old’s love and support for his father’s career are evident, and it’s clear that he takes a keen interest in his father’s game. With his honest and insightful comments, Frankie has shown that he is not only a talented golfer but also a smart and observant young boy.
As for Tommy Fleetwood, it seems like he has a tough but adorable critic in his son. But knowing him, he will take Frankie’s advice and work on his putting to improve his game. After all, what better motivation can there be than to impress your own son?
The Augusta Par 3 contest is just around the corner, and all eyes will be on Tommy Fleetwood and his family. But this time, it won’t just be because of his impressive golfing skills, but also because of his son’s honest and insightful comments that have left everyone speechless. It’s safe to say that Frankie is well on his way to becoming a familiar name in the world of golf, just like his father.
