Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau headed into the final round of The Masters as the two favorites to win the Green Jacket.

McIlroy had a two-shot lead on the first tee, but it was all gone by the next hole after a shocking double bogey.

It then looked like DeChambeau would break his playing partner’s heart, except his round went downhill thereafter and culminated in a 75.

Instead, it was Justin Rose who took McIlroy to the wire before the Northern Irishman eventually won with a birdie in the playoff.

DeChambeau spoke about how the 2025 Masters winner behaved during the final round and whether there were any interactions between them.

Bryson DeChambeau says what Rory McIlroy’s behavior was like in The Masters final round

Much was made in the build-up to the final round about how DeChambeau and McIlroy’s personalities are so different.

The reigning US Open champion is more laid-back on the golf course and loves to interact with the supporters.

McIlroy, on the other hand, tends to be far more ‘in the zone,’ and he took that to another level on Sunday at The Masters.

DeChambeau revealed in his post-round interview that the two didn’t speak once in around four hours playing together.

“No idea. Didn’t talk to me once all day,” he said. “[The atmosphere was] was electric. I loved it. But he was just like… just being focused, I guess. It’s not me, though.”

DeChambeau was asked whether he made an effort to communicate with McIlroy, to which he added, “he wouldn’t talk to me.”

Bryson DeChambeau comments on Rory McIlroy’s nightmare at the 13th hole

McIlroy had already made three double bogeys in the tournament, including at the first hole on Sunday, and he made yet another at the 13th.

He laid up on the par-5 and left himself with a relatively simple wedge shot. Anything left of the pin would’ve been fine, but he went right into the creek.

DeChambeau commented on McIlroy’s terrible mistake, which so nearly cost him the career Grand Slam.

“I wanted to cry for him,” he told the media. “I mean, as a professional, you just know to hit it in the middle of the green, and I can’t believe he went for it or must have just flared it.

“But I’ve hit bad shots in my career, too, and it happens. When you’re trying to win a major championship, especially out here, Sunday of Augusta, the Masters, you have to just do it and get the job done and do it right.

“There were times where it looked like he had full control and at times where it’s like, what’s going on. Kind of looked like one of my rounds, actually.”
