Bryson DeChambeau has just completed another week at The Masters, where he fell down the leaderboard on the final day.

DeChambeau has congratulated Rory McIlroy after he won The Masters, with the duo having been paired together for the final round.

McIlroy led DeChambeau by two shots after three rounds, with the former going on to lift the trophy as the latter finished T5.

Padraig Harrington says DeChambeau changed his personality completely during round four, where he ended up carding a three-over 75.

McIlroy meanwhile posted a one-over 73 as Justin Rose took him to a playoff, where the Northern Irishman prevailed after one hole.

McIlroy was cold with his putter in the closing stages at Pinehurst No.2, with DeChambeau stealing in to clinch his second US Open win and second major championship.

Discussing the now-iconic bunker shot that helped seal the victory, Pinehurst Resort President Tom Pashley said: “At Pinehurst, we have no shortage of trophies and statues. But there’s not a single plaque on Pinehurst No. 2. And we couldn’t be more proud for this to be our first.

“Today, we place a plaque not just to mark a shot, but to honor a story, to honor a moment, to leave an imprint right here in the North Carolina Sandhills on Donald Ross’s masterpiece, Pinehurst No. 2.”
