Jack Nicklaus' Grandson Gary Shoots Hole-in-One at Masters Par 3 Tournament

The Masters Par 3 Contest is often a chance to see former golf legends compete for fun, but one of the biggest stars in Wednesday's action was 15-year-old Gary Nicklaus Jr.

The grandson of Jack Nicklaus shot a hole-in-one on the ninth hole with some big names watching:

Gary Nicklaus Jr. was caddying for his grandfather but was allowed to tee off on a couple of holes. The Golden Bear, winner of 18 majors, enjoyed the show standing next to him along with nine-time major champion Gary Player.

The members of the Nicklaus family competed together in the PNC Father/Son Challenge in December, but this was a special moment at the hallowed grounds of Augusta National.
