Jack Nicklaus may be 75 years old, but the Golden Bear can still sink a hole-in-one.

He did just that on Wednesday afternoon at the Masters Par 3 Contest, shortly after predicting to ESPN that he'd make an ace at the annual event that precedes golf's biggest tournament. Check out the video atop this post to see for yourself.

Prior to his big shot, Nicklaus had told ESPN to expect something special. He made the Wednesday hole-in-one on the fourth hole of Augusta's par-3 course.

Nicklaus is regarded by most to be the greatest golfer of all time, and he's beloved by professional and casual players alike. The course immediately erupted in celebration after his shot rolled in, and he even earned praise from at least one superstar from a different sport.
