The 1D singer took a break from touring to spend a little time on the green with fellow Irishman Rory McIlroy (the No. 1 golfer in the world!), as his caddy at the Masters Par-3 Contest.
“He’s been excited to come here,” McIlroy told ESPN when asked about the One Direction singer. “He’s never been to the Masters. I caught up with him in Australia at the end of last year and he was really excited, and I said, ‘If you’re available Wednesday afternoon and you want to carry the bag for nine holes, you’re more than welcome.’

Adding, “He’s excited to be here and [I’m] looking forward to spending a bit of time with him out there tomorrow.”
The Masters Tournament is being held at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
