[tps_header]The Irish Open gets under way tomorrow at Carton House. Ahead of the main event though, the Pro Am teed off this morning with the best in golf mixing it up with all sorts from the outside world. Here is how they got on...[/tps_header]
Mick O'Driscoll keeps his eye on the ball as he chips on to the green at the 5th.
The question is though, how many Johnny Murtaghs would you fit into one Mick O'Driscoll? Balls.ie reckons about 2.75.
Brian McFadden wears a fetching pair of orange trousers in a desperate plea for attention on the 8th fairway. Well it worked. Here he is.
Former Dynamo Kyiv, AC Milan and (part-time) Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko plays a shot from the rough.
Padraig Harrington does that thing where you try to move the ball in the air with your face after you've shanked your drive. It doesn't seem to be working.
New besties Shevchenko and McIlroy fist bump on the fifth green.
"No Andriy, you're the best."
"And then they signed Torres, and I was like, you guys never learn."
Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley takes it all in his stride.
