Bryson DeChambeau performed his closing spherical at The Masters alongside Rory McIlroy. The previous claimed that the latter didn’t converse to him at any level through the day and made it sound like there was some underlying hostility.
That has since been disproved based mostly on a brand new video from Sunday afternoon.
Initially, this isn’t in any respect unusual in golf. Particularly at The Masters. Particularly through the closing spherical within the closing group. Once I first heard DeChambeau’s feedback, I used to be confused as to why it was such an enormous deal.
He instructed CBS that McIlroy “didn’t discuss to him as soon as all day.” I used to be not shocked though his feedback after the spherical made it appear to be I must be.
DeChambeau implied that he was actively attempting to speak to McIlroy as McIlroy tried to finish his profession Grand Slam after years of catastrophic collapse. McIlroy was not all for chatting.
Am I imagined to act like Tiger Woods didn’t do the identical factor? By no means did the best golfer of all-time chop it up together with his competitor through the closing 18 holes at The Masters. Not often, if ever, do others.
And but, Bryson DeChambeau appeared shocked by Rory McIlroy’s silence.
To be honest, it sounded as if the (lack of interplay) was strictly associated to the significance of the second. There have been individuals who speculated about an excellent beef between the 2 golfers as a result of DeChambeau left for LIV whereas McIlroy stayed with the PGA. I don’t suppose so.
As well as, the claims of a chilly shoulder had been unfaithful. In the course of the closing spherical of The Masters, sure. All through the whole day, no.
McIlroy spoke with DeChambeau earlier than they walked out onto the primary tee. They even shared a cordial handshake and the previous pat the latter on the again. It was a pleasant change.

Bryson DeChambeau mentioned that Rory McIlroy didn’t converse to him in any respect. That isn’t fully correct. They didn’t converse through the spherical. They did converse beforehand.
McIlroy lastly gained whereas refusing to speak. DeChambeau completed tied for fifth whereas attempting to speak it up. That’s the tip of it.
This was not an enormous deal to start with. It’s even much less so now. Let’s transfer on!
