MUST-WATCH: Jack Nicklaus, 75, Makes Hole-In-One At Masters Par-3 Contest

AUGUSTA, Ga. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Jack Nicklaus thrilled the crowd Wednesday at the annual Masters par-3 contest, making a hole-in-one on the fourth hole.

The six-time Masters champion, playing in the exhibition at age 75, spun an iron shot back into the hole for the ace.

After his ball bounced twice then took a third hop before spinning back into the hole, Nicklaus was congratulated by Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player.

Nicklaus -- who won 18 majors in his illustrious career -- acknowledged the ovation from the crowd, raising his arms in the air with a double fist-pump.

The 63-year-old Crenshaw will tee off for his 44th and final Masters on Thursday.
