One Direction fans all over the world were glued to golf today – thanks to Rory McIlroy.
The world number 1 recruited the Mullingar man as his caddy for the day during the Augusta tournament.
Lapping up the activities with Rory and Tiger Woods, Niall looked delighted to be there as he helped Rory around the course.
Golf time: Niall and Rory were the perfect team
Niall wasn’t just stuck on caddy duties for the day though, and even got to take his own shot.
While fans hoped the singer would show off some serious skills, Niall’s golf ball sadly landed in the water.
Speaking at the tournament Rory said he was delighted to bring Niall on board.
“Niall told me a few months ago that he was going to come over here and watch The Masters and I thought it would be nice to spend an afternoon with him like this,” he told BBC Sport.
Honoured: Niall said working with Rory was ‘special’
And the One Direction star was over the moon with the invite.
“To be honest, I can’t really put it into words,” he said at the golf course.
“It’s a pretty big deal for the world number one and my fellow countryman to ask me to do this, it’s pretty special. It’s an honour.”
“I am (nervous) there’s not 60,000 screaming girls here, the demographic is a little bit different,” he said ahead of the tournament.
