Lando Norris is a big golfing fan and has previously been spotted playing in Dubai

By Matt Smith
Lando Norris, the McLaren Formula One driver, has revealed he realised a lifelong ambition by playing a round at Augusta following the Miami Grand Prix.

The racing driver was enjoying a break between the Miami race and the Spanish GP — and managed to squeeze in a round at the famed Masters golf course in Georgia along with McLaren CEO Zak Brown.

“I think Zak got invited,” Norris told a press conference in Spain. “We just know a couple of people who are members there and very kindly they invited us to go out and play. Zak has played before, so he had a bit of an advantage on me. But as a massive golf fan, everyone dreams of going to play Augusta.

“I don’t know what I would compare it to in terms of racing, and Formula 1. You know, everyone probably wants to go and drive Monaco at some point. If you win it, then it’s the dream. So I think it’s a similar thing, that if you get to go and play Augusta, you’ll be happy enough.

“And I mean, I know a lot of people who have wanted to for years and years and years and never got to play, so I got bragging rights to say that I’ve managed to play.”
