WATCH: Niall Horan Takes On American Golf's Pressure Putt Challenge
Nationwide golf retailer American Golf has teed off its new celebrity Pressure Putt Challenge with avid golf fan and one of pop music’s biggest names, Niall Horan.
The former One Direction star, who is the Director of Modest! Golf Management, stepped up to the tee in the high pressure minute-long challenge to see how many putts of increasing difficulty he could sink.
Competitors are allowed 60 seconds to hole as many putts in a row at two foot increments starting from two foot.
If you miss though, you have to start again!

With the pressure on, Niall reached the six foot mark on three occasions before pulling his eight foot putt wide.
"I could only sadly get to six foot, let's see who's next," Horan said.
