Golfer’s hole-in-one celebration becomes grisly ankle turn

Jack Nicklaus has enjoyed many golden moments on the golf course, but the one at the par-three contest at the Masters on Wednesday was especially special.

“I’m running out of Par-3s, ” he said.

In the contest, you’re nearly sure to see a hole-in-one and usually more than one – there have been 93 total. make that 94 since Dylan Frittelli made one as we were posting this – and a record nine in 2016. Afterward, Nicklaus took to Twitter himself to share his thoughts.

“Time moves on”, Nicklaus said.

“But since I’m not playing the tournament I said ‘Let’s go for it this year'”.

“G.T.is a big kid and has the potential to be a very talented player”, Jack said.

“So you could tell what that tee shot meant today”.

The Northern Irish man will be hoping that when he drives back up Magnolia Lane on Sunday night or Monday morning, that he will be wearing the coveted green jacket.

Despite winning 18 majors, 78-year-old Nicklaus said Gary’s incredible shot is the number one moment in his career.

GT, who was set to caddie for his six-time Masters-winning grandfather on Wednesday, said yes.

Woods is contesting the year’s opening major for the first time since 2015 after undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April last year and has finished 12th, second and fifth in his last three starts on the PGA Tour.

“But when something happens with your children or your grandchildren, that’s far more special to you”.

The anticipation is officially over and The Masters tournament is now officially underway at Augusta National Golf Club.

“To have your grandson with you there – and Jack was in tears, and of course he got us all choked up as well”, Player said.

Tom Watson, the 68-year-old two-time Masters champ, turned back the clock in the family-friendly finale to Augusta preparations by shooting six-under on the nine hole layout to win by a shot.

The tee shots of Nicklaus and Player offered a quaint respite from a modern age focused on quantitative analysis. What a day. I’m sure his father is up there in the trees and hasn’t come down.
