DeChambeau Eager for McIlroy Rivalry at The Masters
Bryson DeChambeau is looking forward to competing against Rory McIlroy at The Masters, after learning valuable lessons from last year's final-round disappointment. DeChambeau, who has posted top-six finishes at Augusta National the past two years, is among the favourites to challenge for a third major title. The American has come into the event with back-to-back LIV Golf League victories, and is eager to go head-to-head with McIlroy again, saying 'it's great if we can continue to have a rivalry' as it helps create 'more buzz around the game of golf'. DeChambeau reflects on last year's final round, where he briefly led before ending tied fifth, and admits that losing was 'a great learning lesson' that gave him perspective on being in the lead and having the opportunity to win. He hopes to put himself in a similar position this week and give it his all, as he aims to deny McIlroy a successful title defence at The Masters.
