Rory McIlroy confused with Bryson DeChambeau’s comments after Masters win

McIlroy didn't know "what he was expecting"

The 36-year-old secured his first major since 2014 and was paired with the American, who shot a disappointing three over, on the final day at Augusta.

When asked how McIlroy was feeling after bogeying the 18th to leave him in a play-off with Justin Rose, DeChambeau said: “No idea. Didn’t talk to me once all day. He wouldn’t talk to me.”

During a press conference ahead of this week's PGA Championship, McIlroy was confused about how DeChambeau was expecting him to act at the Masters.

He said: "We were trying to win the Masters. I'm not going to try to be his best mate out there."

"Everyone approaches the game in different ways. I was focused on myself and what I needed to do, and that was really all that it was. It wasn't anything against him and it was what I felt I needed to do to try and get the best out of myself that day."
