VIDEO: Niall Horan nearly killed a BMW PGA Championship spectator

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Niall Horan hit it in one direction on Wednesday in the BMW PGA Championship pro-am at Wentworth, and it nearly killed someone.

The One Direction singer was playing alongside world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, although not particularly well, when he pulled a tee shot into his sizable gallery and it headed right for a spectator with the camera on his mobile phone rolling. The ball nearly hits the guy and knocks him down, leading to the proper reaction, yelling an obscenity.

The fan tries to tell Horan that he "nearly killed [him]," but the singer doesn't seem to notice.
