One Direction's Niall Horan joins Kirsty Gallacher at Augusta for the second succesive year

One Direction star Niall Horan is at Augusta and says Rory McIlroy is relaxed as he bids to win his first Green Jacket this week.

Horan famously caddied for McIlroy in last year's Par 3 and had an unfortunate slip, live on Sky Sports.

He managed to stay upright on this occasion and is hopeful of a good weekend for McIlroy and Justin Rose.

"I was talking to him (McIlroy) yesterday, he's feeling good, feeling comfortably and he seems relaxed, more relaxed that he's seemed in a while," Horan told Kirsty Gallacher on Sky Sports News HQ.

A moment to forget for One Direction's Niall Horan as he falls over at last year's Par-3 contest.

"We were just out there with Justin Rose who is doing well currently, it's looking good for our boys.

"It'd be great to see Rosey do it, he deserves it, he puts a lot of hard work in like they all do but when you're friends with someone you always want to see them do well."

The Irishman also spoke about the special 'aura' of Augusta and his own golf skills as well as revealing that Harry Styles is also a golf fan.
