80-year-old Gary Player makes Par-3 Contest history with a hole-in-one

Last year, Jack Nicklaus stole the show at the Masters Par-3 Contest when he made a hole-in-one. This year, Nicklaus got to sit back and watch as Gary Player did the same. The 80-year-old Player became the oldest player to make an ace in the Par-3 Contest when this ball dropped.

Nicklaus and Tom Watson both hit great shots into the hole before Player stepped to the tee. Initially, his approach looked like it was a little wide, but it caught the perfect slope and started rolling back toward the cup. And it kept getting closer and closer until it dropped.

An ace in the Par-3 Contest isn’t a new feeling for Player. His hole-in-one on No. 7 Wednesday was his FOURTH ace in the Contest, the most of any player.
