McDowell on course to win tweet hashtag jackpot for Crumlin

"A touch of John Daly" was how Graeme McDowell described the golf swing of little Cillian Wade.

Cillian, 6, who suffers from leukaemia, was meeting GMac for the first time and to say he was excited would be an understatement. His brothers Daithí, 7, and Oisín, 4, were similarly excited — although they had a sneaking admiration for Rory McIlroy and Pádraig Harrington.

Dad David admitted the boys had been “wired to the moon” all week and sure enough, GMac didn’t disappoint greeting the lads with high fives and even ordering them to show him their golf swings.
