Niall Horan snotted himself in public and we’re all morto for him

It was a big day for One Direction's Niall Horan yesterday as he took to the Masters course in Augusta, Georgia to caddy for Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy.

Niall was delighted at the prospect of helping out at the Masters Par 3 contest, after Rory asked him in Australia late last year.

All was going well for the Mullingar man until he slipped on some wet leaves and snotted himself in full view of hundreds of news cameras.

CRINGE. Of course, there's already a slow-mo version doing the rounds, in case you were wondering:

Not his best moment. Ever the martyr, Niall is hoping other caddies will learn from his tragic mistake:

If your walking around augusta , don't step on the pine leaves, slippy as hell Hahahaha! #redfaced !
