However, Hovland bares the unique trait of being the only single golfer on his team.

But that did not stop him from stealing the show after he partnered up with Ryder Cup legend and Team Europe vice-captain Jose Maria Olazabal, 57.

The duo were pictured in hysterics while holding hands on their way to dinner.

One fan reacted: “Fantastic .”

A second said: “This looks really funny .”

A third wrote: “Just when I thought I couldn’t like this kid more, he does this! Humble, humour, grit, talent, kindness… Be more like Hovland.”

Hovland, 26, also saw his tie done up by England‘s Tommy Fleetwood at one point.

It comes after the Norwegian was followed around by one smitten fan during a practice round at the Marco Simeone course in Rome, Italy on Wednesday.

A female fan could be heard screaming “I love you” after Hovland hit a drive.

Hovland bagged a stunning hole-in-one on a par 4 during the practice session.

Another golf fan appeared to stumble across his Tinder profile earlier this month.

The fan posted a video of them flicking through the profile.

But fans have been left convinced Hovland lied about his height in the profile after he said he was 5ft 10in.
