“Get in the hole.”

Six-time Masters winner and golf legend Jack Nicklaus rolled back the years at Augusta with a hole-in-one at the 8th during the par three contest yesterday.

Nicklaus, 75, became the oldest Masters champion in history when he won it aged 46 in 1986.

At the traditional par-three pre-Masters competition on Wednesday, Nicklaus sank the ball to the thundering delight of the crowd.

He’d even quipped “What about a hole in one?” when speaking to broadcasters before setting out to the tee.

What a guy.
