Gallery: One Direction’s Niall Horan caddies at Masters Par 3 Tournament
Rory McIlroy has a new caddy - for one day only

One Direction's Niall Horan was one of those involved in the Masters Par 3 Tournament at Augusta National
Jack Nicklaus celebrates after making a hole in one on the 4th hole. At 75 he became the oldest man to make a hole in one in the Masters Par 3 Tournament. His 8-iron on the 123-yard hole landed about 15ft past the pin and spun back.
Jack was playing with Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player, the only two men to have three holes in one in the Masters Par 3 Tournament. It was Nicklaus‘ first hole in one at Augusta.
Camilo Villegas of Colombia, here with his partner Maria Ochoa, made two holes in one in this year’s contest. However it was not enough to give him victory...
... as he lost in a play-off to Kevin Streelman. Streelman says he is not worried about the ‘curse of the Masters Par 3 Tournament', whereby no-one who has won it has also won the Masters in the same year. His caddie was Ethan Couch, who has a benign but inoperable brain tumour. "This isn't about me today," said Streelman. "It's about helping him out and showing him a great day."
Rory MacIlroy had One Direction singer Niall Horan on his bag.

Most wives and girlfriend wore the Augusta caddy overall. But Tiger Woods’ girlfriend, skier Lindsey Vonn, who went round to help guide his children, took a different sartorial attitude.
