Gary Nicklaus, Jr. the grandson of Jack Nicklaus celebrates with Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson after a hole-in-one on the 9th hole during the Par 3 Contest before the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Gary Nicklaus made his grandfather, legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, very proud during the Masters Par 3 Contest when he shot a hole-in-one.

Professional golfers often bring their family members along to caddie in the annual Par 3 event at Augusta National. And sometimes they even get to practice their swings and hit a shot.

Gary was caddying for his grandfather when he took a shot on the ninth and final hole. Watch the ace and his grandfather's reaction below:

He did it all dressed in the Augusta's all-white caddie jumpsuit. And he even got hugs and congratulations from golfers Gary Player and Tom Watson.

"This will go right in the hole, my man," said Player as the ball rolled on the green.
