Attention One Direction fans: Niall Horan is currently playing a round of golf in Kildare

Mullingar heartthrob Niall Horan is currently on course at the K Club as this week's Irish Open event kicks off with the annual Pro Am event in which celebrities from all around the world compete against each other in a pre-tournament event.

The former One Direction star teed off just after 2pm in the event, and thousands have gathered at the Straffan venue to see the singer playing alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy, Danny Willett and Shane Lowry.

Horan is a keen golfer and has even started his own agency that helps to identify young talented golfers. Judging by some of the videos that have appeared on Twitter in the past two hours, he is pretty handy at it too.
