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.
So special that the man affectionately known as The Golden Bear described it as the number one moment of his career, which brought him to tears.
The 78-year-old was playing alongside Gary Player and Tom Watson when his caddie and grandson Gary, also known as GT, scored a hole-in-one on the ninth.
"What I did doesn't make any difference to me. But watching your grandson do something special, I have a few tears," said 18-time Major winner Nicklaus.
"We talked about three days ago and said 'GT do you want to hit the ball on nine?' and he said 'sure'. I said, 'well I think you're going to make a hole-in-one'. It's his first.
"You always want the best for your kids and your grandkids and to watch a grandkid come along and knock in a hole-in-one on the biggest venue in the world ... wow. I mean what a day."
GT Nicklaus added: "This is probably my favourite week of the year and this is a special tournament, golf is a sport that I love and for that to happen is just unbelievable."
Meanwhile, Watson became the oldest winner of the traditional Masters warm-up.
Watson, 68, finished six under par in the nine-hole event to finish a shot ahead of Tommy Fleetwood, who partners Tiger Woods and Marc Leishman in the first two rounds of the tournament proper.
Since the contest started in 1960, nobody has ever become par-three and Masters champion in the same week, so Fleetwood had Watson to thank.
Watson, who lost a play-off for the 2009 Open Championship at the age of 59, told ESPN: "I won it one other time a long time ago and of course I didn't win the tournament that year, but since I'm not playing the tournament I said 'Let's go for it this year."
