Little Sean Ryan, from Burren in Co Down has only been playing golf for a year.

But he's already won a national championship and recently became the youngest Irish golfer ever to earn a place at the World Kids Golf Championship in the United States.

His favourite player?

"Rory McIlroy," Sean told UTV, without even having to think about it.
