AceShowbiz - Agreeing to serve as caddie for friend and Northern Irish golf pro Rory McIlroy, Niall Horan took a tumble when performing his duty. The 21-year-old One Direction singer was walking with the clubs, carrying the heavy bag of clubs on his shoulder, to a Sky Sports interview on Wednesday, April 8 when he slipped and fell to the ground.
Luckily he was fine and quickly got back up on his feet. Later that day, Niall took to Twitter to address the embarrassing moment and wrote, "If your walking around augusta , don't step on the pine leaves, slippy as hell Hahahaha! #redfaced !" He added, "Well that was an incredible experience , thanks @McIlroyRory for letting me do that, shame I pulled my shot into the water ! @TheMasters."

The golfer was quoted by ESPN as saying, "He's been excited to come here. 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.'
