HARRY POTTER actor Tom Felton was today stretchered off the Ryder Cup golf course after falling ill.
Felton – who turned 34 yesterday – is said to have collapsed at the 18th hole while playing in a celebrity match.
He was carried onto a stretcher attached to the back of a buggy and driven off for medical attention.
His current condition is unknown, but he was conscious when medics arrived.
Felton was competing for Europe in the six a side Ryder Cup Celebrity Match, which is now a traditional curtain-raiser for the real thing.
Spectators gave the actor a warm round of applause as he headed off to receive further treatment.
Felton had proved popular amongst the Wisconsin crowd after an excellent drive off the first tee.
He had earlier posed with his celebrity teammates including Teemu Selanne, Mandy Rose, Toni Kukoc, Mike Eruzione, Stephanie Szostak, AJ Hawk, Dan Jansen, Alessandro Del Piero, Kelly Slater and Sasha Vujacic.
The star is best known playing Harry Potter’s nemesis, Draco Malfoy, in the film franchise based on book series by JK Rowling.
He landed the hit role at just 14 years old – catapulting him to global stardom.
Yesterday as he celebrated turning 34, he told fans: “The best is yet to come”.
Felton wrote on Instagram: “33 years done – good lord it’s been so much fun getting here – yet, somehow, I still feel the best is yet to come.
“Thank you all for your love , support & sense of humour – let’s keep a good thing going – to the next 33 xx.”
