OLD BETHPAGE, N.Y. (WKBW) — This weekend is one that Nate Forrestel, of Akron, has been waiting a while for. A "once in a lifetime" trip to the Ryder Cup, all thanks to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
This past summer at Bills training camp, the reigning NFL MVP surprised the 25-year-old with two tickets to the Ryder Cup, one of the most popular golf events in the world. Forrestel let out an exciting shriek in a moment that went viral.
"To have him be like, 'Hey Nate,'" explained Forrestel. "No money can encapsulate the joy and that passion."

Forrestel has more than 49,000 Instagram followers. He posts his skills on the golf course as he perseveres through cerebral palsy.
This year, the battle between Europe and the USA is taking place at Bethpage Black on Long Island, and Forrestel will be there this weekend for all the action with his mom.
"He's just the man, and I just want him to know he's an absolute legend," said Forrestel.
In partnership with the Special Olympics New York, New Era also surprised Forrestel with all the New Era gear he needed to support the US Ryder Cup team.
