text: Rory McIlory was joined by  Niall Horan at the Masters on Wednesday as the One Direction singer caddied for the Northern Irish golfer in the traditional Par-3 Contest at Augusta. The 21-year-old singer Horan shared a photo on social media of him and McIlory before the pair headed out onto the course, where the One Direction singer was about to make an embarrassing slip. Horan fell while carrying McIlroy's clubs around the par-three course, but the pair laughed it off as the Northern Irishman his a one-under-par round on Wednesday. The singer from Ireland even got an opportunity to tee off on one hole while Tiger Woods also played the Par-3 Contest for the first time in 11 years.

The Par-3 Contest has become a much-loved part of the Masters build-up, and is played on Augusta National’s nine-hole par-3 course on the Wednesday before the tournament. American 36-year-old Kevin Streelman won the Par-3 contest after a three-hole play-off with Camilo Villegas. The pair both shot five under par, but the Colombian Villegas hit his tee shot on the eighth hole into the water during the play-off. McIlroy is desperate to win at Augusta this week and add the Masters, which is the only major he is yet to win, to his trophy collection and will get down to the serious business on Thursday. Victory at the Augusta National will mean a third major title in a row for the Northern Irishman, who shot a one-under-par round in the Par-3 Contest after winning The Open and the USPGA Championship at the back end of 2014. Woods, meanwhile, had declined to participate in the mini-tournament, which he has previously called 'distracting',since 2004. But Woods gave his fans a treat by joining in with the event for the first time in 11 years, with his daughter, Sam, 7, and his son, Charlie, 6, keeping him company. His playing partners were old pals Steve Stricker and Fred Couples. Sam Snead won the first Par 3 Contest in 1960, two years after the course was completed. A record five holes-in-one were made in the 2002 event, when Japan's Toshi Izawa made back-to-back aces on holes five and six. Players often invite their wives or children to caddie for them. Reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson, who was also a winner at Augusta in 2012, was joined by his wife Angie and son Caleb for the Par-3 Contest. Watson played with his American compatriot Rickie Fowler, who had girlfriend Alexis Randock as his caddy. But this is the competition nobody wants to win. Nobody has ever won the Wednesday warm-up and the Masters in the same week, leading many to remark on the 'curse' of the Par-3 Contest. Those who have recently discovered to their fate that these twin feats are seemingly unachievable include Padriag Harrington, winner of the Par 3 Contest in 2003 and 2004, former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen (2010) and former world No 1 Luke Donald, who claimed the prize in 2011 but remains majorless.
