Bryson DeChambeau revealed that he wanted to ‘cry for’ Rory McIlroy during the final round of the Masters.
McIlroy looked set to cruise to victory before some late mishaps saw Justin Rose thrown a lifeline, with his double bogey on the 13th among his errors.
Speaking about how McIlroy hit his approach shot into Rae’s Creek, DeChambeau said: “I wanted to cry for him. 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.”
