Niall Horan of One Direction teams with Rory McIlroy again
Caddie Niall Horan of One Direction and
Niall Horan doesn’t play on the pro golf tour, but it’s starting to feel that way.
The pop singer of One Direction fame caddied for top-ranked Rory McIlroy during the par-3 contest before the Masters last month.
Now, Horan will play beside McIlroy in the pro-am before the upcoming BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
“I’ll probably be more nervous than in front of thousands with [One Direction],” he was quoted as saying in a BBC report. “I’m hoping Rory will give me a few tips on calming the nerves.”
Young fans cheered Horan at Augusta National, where he tripped over McIlroy’s bag at one point and took a swing from a tee, plunking his shot in the water.
McIlroy, who will appear on stage with One Direction at some point in the near future, said they “had a good fun together.”
