WATCH: Niall Horan took a hopper while caddying for Rory McIlroy yesterday

The par-3 tournament ahead of the Masters looked like the place to be.

Not only was Jack Nicklaus rolling back the years with a sumptuous hole-in-one and the Irish duo of Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington having a blast but we also got to see Niall Horan fall on his arse on live television. The One Direction star, and Mullingar chancer, showed that caddying is tougher than it looks as he lost his balance while being asked a question by Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher. At SportsJOE we're far from experts on pop music but we reckon the tumble was the crippling heartbreak of bandmate Zayn Malik's departure finally hitting Horan. Either that or a slippy pine leaf.

If your walking around augusta , don't step on the pine leaves, slippy as hell Hahahaha! #redfaced ! — Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) April 8, 2015
