80-year-old Gary Player hit a hole in one
AUSUSTA, Ga. — Gary Player may be 80, but can still kick your butt. And he can still play some good golf, too.
Case in point, one the seventh hold of Wednesday's Par 3 Contest in a warm up to the Masters, Player did this:
Watch @garyplayer become the oldest player to make a hole-in-one in the Par 3 Contest. #themasters https://t.co/bBJgSWiiMj

It was one of a record nine aces on the day. For Player, it was fourth-career hole in one in the Par 3 Contest. And it goes without saying, he's now the oldest to card an ace.
Jimmy Walker, who also carded an ace, won the contest with a record 8-under 19.
