KEVIN STREELMAN AND ETHAN COUCH WIN THE MASTERS PAR-3

By Torleif Sorenson on 4/9/15

ESPN senior golf writer Jason Sobel has one of the best stories from the 79th Masters.

Ethan Couch is a 13-year-old Spruce Grove, Alberta resident whose father is a teaching professional and whose mother also plays the game. Ethan loves the game as well, but getting in the way of his physical abilities is a tectal glioma — a benign-but-inoperable brain tumor. Following surgery that confirmed his condition, a nurse congratulated Ethan for getting through the surgery and asked him to think of a wish.

Ethan responded the way so many of us golf lovers would:

"I want to go to the Masters."

On Wednesday, PGA Tour pro Kevin Streelman made that happen — and more. With Ethan toting his bag, Streelman won the Masters Par-3 contest on Wednesday, defeating Camilo Villegas in a playoff. "Spiderman" certainly was not complaining, though:
