At 35, he’s the same age as the athlete, who recently made history, but initially had no idea who he was – and what’s more, over a decade later is still not convinced by the resemblance at all.

But Rory McIlroy – who was preparing to tee off at Carnoustie – wasn’t interested. It was the British Open and his head was in the game.
The Northern Irish champion became the sport’s sixth Grand Slam winner last weekend when he won the Masters in Augusta.
Amateur golfer Matthew couldn’t be happier for his doppelganger – though has mixed feelings about the comparison.
During the second day of the Open in 2018, projected onto the big screens was a picture of him wearing a T-shirt saying: “I’m not Rory McIlroy.”
It had been taken by golf TV personality and columnist Eamon Lynch and posted on X – then still called Twitter.
He captioned the post: “A fan trying to avoid confusion at Carnoustie.”
