We are learning that it was NOT Masters winning Rory McIlroy’s plan to purposely block any on-course conversation with Bryson DeChambeau, his final round playing parnter at Augusta National. DeChambeau, who had led the Masters after just two final round holes, eventually faded under the weight of a closing 75 to share fifth place. However, DeChambeau shocked most when revealing post his round that McIlroy had not spoken to him from the time the pair shook hands on the first tee until they also ...

Grand Slam winning Rory McIlroy has naturally not wasted any time in ‘ammending’ his X media account to reflect his new super statue in men’s professional golf.

Rory McIlroy’s 11-year wait since capturing a third major at the 2014 PGA Championship in a quest to secure success in the only major championship he requires to join the most exclusive club in golf is now just 18 holes from fruition. McIlroy superbly stamped his enormous class and also reinforced his credentials as the New Year’s best in-form golfer brilliantly posting two eagles and four birdies in a third round second straight score of a six-under 66 to move two shots clear of the ...

It was around 4pm on the eve of the Masters and the final preview pieces ahead of the year’s maiden major had been filed. Those afforded invitations to tee-up in the next day’s opening round of the years maiden Major were away either competing in the Par-3 Contest or elsewhere doing what they had to do to prepare themselves for the tournament proper.
