Young Scottish golfer Connor Syme earned himself a new fan during this week’s Australian PGA Championship on the European Tour.

Drumoig ace Syme was playing a practice round at Royal Pines in Queensland when he noticed an upset young fan on the other side of the ropes.

According to Tony Webeck, a writer with Australian Golf Digest, the kid was left ‘devastated’ when a poster that was full of autographs he had been collecting from players at the course blew into a water hazard.

Up stepped 23-year-old Syme to make the little guy’s day…

Class act, Connor. If there is such a thing as karma, it owes him one after that.
