Niall Horan has made a young Irish fan’s dream come true as he posed for a photo, and even gave her his golf glove.
Nine-year-old Holly Carlin was one of a few lucky fans that nabbed a picture with the Mullingar singer as he played a round of golf at The Royal Co. Down Golf Club.
While Niall is preparing for the Pro-Am tournament at the Northern Ireland Open at Galgorm next week – he stopped to greet a few ecstatic fans.

Holly’s mother Kelly told the Belfast Telegraph that they headed to the golf course to try and spot the star after hearing he was in the area – but they didn’t expect what would happen next.
“I didn’t want to tell anyone because I didn’t want word to get out.
“This was our one chance to see him, and eventually he came out. We waited for a few hours, but it was all worth it. Holly was in tears. She was so emotional, and in the pictures she was half crying and half smiling.”

To Holly’s delight, Niall posed for a picture and signed an autograph for his young fan, and even took off his golf glove and handed it to her.
“She is still in the clouds. It was like a dream come true. She has loved him since she was four. She’s always asked me if I think she’d ever get to meet him.
“We were planning to go to the Open on Wednesday, and I had warned her that she probably wouldn’t get near him, so it’s unbelievable that it happened like this,” Holly’s mum added.
