McIlroy’s Reddy-made hero

What started as a father-son weekend away ended with the stuff of dreams for one golf-mad Cork boy who found himself signing autographs for the World No 1 Rory McIlroy.

Simon Reddy brought his son Seán to London last weekend, and popped into sportswear giant Nike’s flagship store during their visit.

While in Niketown, the eight-year-old took on the store’s golf simulator and began showing off how far he can drive a ball.
