Jack Nicklaus is one of the greatest golfers to ever play the game, but it was his grandson who stole the spotlight during the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday afternoon.

On hole No. 9, Jack Nicklaus’ 15-year-old grandson Gary stepped up to the tee and drained a very impressive hole-in-one, which left his legendary grandfather in tears. After enjoying a hearty celebration with his grandson, Jack took to Twitter shortly after his grandson’s ace and shared a heartfelt message with all of his followers.



With all due respect to @themasters, allow me to put my 6 Green Jackets in the closet for a moment and say that I don’t know if I have had a more special day on a golf course. To have your grandson make his first hole-in-one on this stage.... WOW! #Family #memoryofalifetime pic.twitter.com/3TSLwlV0m9 — Jack Nicklaus (@jacknicklaus) April 4, 2018

Nicklaus captured a lot of hardware during his prime, but even his six Green Jackets can’t compare to witnessing his grandson sink his first-ever hole-in-one and at Augusta of all places, too.
