GOLF fans were left with melted hearts after the “cutest interview ever” ahead of The Masters teeing off.
got underway this Thursday, but it was that got most fans talking.
Players gearing up for the first major of the season are invited to bring their family and friends along for the tradition of playing Augusta National's nine-hole Par 3 course.
It's always a superb day out that sees wives, girlfriends and kids get a chance to take to the famous Augusta grounds and enjoy themselves before the competition proper begins.
Normally it's a first glimpse at what players are going to look like on the course, but this time round it was a glimpse way into the future at a potential Green Jacket in years to come when ‘s son had his moment in the spotlight.
Seven-year-old Frankie Fleetwood accompanied his dad on the tee box, giving his best shot at hitting the green on the ninth tee – only to melt hearts with an interview even the most seasoned of pros would have been proud of.
Asked by Sky Sports if he had been practicing to try and hit the green, he said: “Well I've been doing my hardest to get it over the green.
“I've been practicing as hard as I can, just not reaching it this year. But, I'm just trying my hardest.”
Fans were losing their minds at the adorable interview, taking to social media to react.
One wrote: “Tommy Fleetwood’s son is every golfer, everywhere. What an interview answer.”
While another added: “Tommy Fleetwood’s son: better than most in front of a mic. Little Legend.”
A third commented: “Adorable! He's a mini Tommy for sure”.
And a fourth posted: “Sounds just like his dad”.
Even Fleetwood's teammate took the chance to tease his colleague about the interview, saying: “Fleetwood's having him on media training already.”
Fleetwood Jr wasn't the only youngster to impress on the day either.
