Jack Nicklaus, the 75-year-old US golf legend who has won a record 18 major titles, aced the fourth hole Wednesday at the Masters Par-3 Contest.
Nicklaus, who owns a record six Masters crowns, was playing alongside South African Gary Player and US star Ben Crenshaw, a two-time winner making his 44th and final Masters appearance this week.
At the 130-yard fourth hole in the annual casual competition played on the eve of the Masters, Nicklaus fired his tee shot beyond the pin, watched it bounce twice and then spin backward and roll 20 feet into the cup.
Nicklaus celebrated the hole-in-one with his playing partners as the spectators roared.
It was the 82nd ace in the history of the Par-3 event, the second of the day after a hole-in-one by South African Trevor Immelman on the 130-yard fifth hole.
Nicklaus won the Masters in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975 and 1986, when he captured the last of his major crowns and became the oldest Masters winner at 46.
The Par-3 event has been a Masters tradition since 1960.
