((HT: WLOX-TV/AJC))Steve Wilson is a 39-year-old that runs BP convenience stores in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

His 9-year-old son, Gavan, caddied for him in the Par-3 tournament Wednesday afternoon ((both pictured, thanks AJC)).Thankfully, Wilson did not win the Par-3 so he still has a chance to win the blazer that goes with being the lowest scorer over the week.Tim Clark aced himself out of that by taking the Par-3 crown.The AJC's Jeff Schultz tracked down Wilson for a cool piece...

Which is much more entertaining.4 People to Watch to ContendObvious...
