Rory McIlroy's Mini-Me Poppy Nails Epic Putt

Rory McIlroyneed look no further than his four-year-old daughter for inspiration at the year's Masters.

Poppy's Impressive Putt
Little Poppy sank a monster putt at an annual funday event on Wednesday to show proud dad Rory how it was done as he takes on the biggest test in golf for the 17th time. The legendary shot was made at the 9th hole of the iconic Augusta course in Georgia as part of the family-orientated Par Three Contest, where players can play with their family members as caddies. "Yeah, very cool," McIlroy said when asked about that moment. "It’s just such a fun afternoon. Being out there with Shane (Lowry) and Tommy (Fleetwood) and their families, we’re all very, very close, so to have the kids out there and them having fun is the most important thing. "It’s a really nice way to sort of end the preparation going into what is the serious part of the week. So it’s nice to be able to get out here and do this." Rory and Poppy were joined by Lowry and his daughter who could not contain their excitement as Poppy calmly accepted that Augusta roar from the watching fans.
