In fact, Nicklaus<\/a>‘ favorite memory at Augusta is of a shot he didn't even hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Nicklaus is arguably the greatest golfer of all time, but it's impossible to argue anyone in PGA Tour history has played The Masters as well as ‘The Golden Bear'. Nicklaus won The Masters six times during his iconic career, which is the most of any player in golf history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicklaus won his first-ever green jacket at the 1963 Masters. He was just 23 years old at the time. Two years later, he won his second Masters title at the age of 25. He repeated as the champion a year after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicklaus added to his total by winning the Masters again in 1972 and 1975. Then, he went 10 years without securing another green jacket. No one believed he could find his sixth Masters title that late in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they were wrong. Nicklaus put on his finest performance at Augusta in 1986, where he shot 7-under in the final round and 6-under on the back nine to win his sixth green jacket at age 46. It remains today Nicklaus' most impressive and most emotional major championship of his career, but it actually isn't his fondest Masters memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicklaus' grandson made a hole-in-one at the 2018 Masters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
