Rory McIlroy responded to Bryson DeChambeau's claims about receiving the silent treatment during the final round of the Masters Tournament. McIlroy explained that his lack of communication was due to his intense focus on winning, not a personal slight against DeChambeau. The two players had entered the tournament with McIlroy leading, and despite exchanging leads during the round, McIlroy ultimately claimed victory, completing his career grand slam. This incident highlights the varying approaches golfers take in competitive situations.
"I don't know what he was expecting. I mean, we're trying to win the Masters! I'm not gonna try to be his best mate out there."
"Everyone approaches the game different ways. I was focused on myself and what I needed to do; and that's really all that it was."
