She poked fun at the singer’s golf game.
Leona Maguire made an appearance on Friday night’s Late Late Show and had viewers in stitches when she began launching into Niall Horan’s golf skills.
Not even there to defend himself, Niall had to cancel his appearance via satellite on the show after he became ill on a flight to LA.
Only coming off of her first-ever LPGA Tour win, the Cavan native sat down to chat with Ryan Tubridy all about her latest success.
“It’s a bit of a blur. I suppose you dream about that moment,” she said.
“I’ve hit thousands and thousands of putts thinking this is to win an LPGA event, this is to get into a playoff to win an LPGA event or to win a major.
“I built it up so much in my head, when it actually happened, it’s a bit surreal. You don’t really realise it.
“It probably didn’t really sink in until I suppose I had the trophy and face timed home.”
Niall was also set to appear on the show to talk about Leona’s success, as he is one of the directors of golf management company Modest to which she is signed.
Speaking about the man himself, Ryan asked Leona about Niall’s golfing skills, to which she jokingly replied: “He’s good for what he needs to be.”
She had the audience in stitches before adding that Niall is no amateur when it comes to the sport and has managed to get his score down to a 7 or 8 handicap, saying he is “golf mad”.
Joking later on Twitter, the golf star reshared the clip of her saying all this and wrote: “He’s a better golfer than I am singer, that’s for sure @NiallOfficial.”
