DeChambeau Acknowledges Masters Setback Attributed to Side Slope Challenges
Bryson DeChambeau acknowledged difficulties hitting from side slopes at the Masters Tournament and plans to refine his technique. Despite entering the final round within striking distance of the lead, the American golfer conceded he felt ‘really uncomfortable’ on uneven lies, ultimately finishing tied for fifth after a lackluster conclusion to his week at Augusta National. This performance came as a surprise to many golf enthusiasts and analysts, given DeChambeau’s reputation for power and precision.
DeChambeau concluded the competition four strokes behind Rory McIlroy, who secured victory in a playoff against Justin Rose following an 11-under-par score. A double bogey on the 11th hole significantly hindered DeChambeau’s pursuit of his inaugural Masters title. Identifying uneven terrain as a challenge, he stated his intention to focus on improving his iron play from such situations.
DeChambeau Attributes Masters Setback to Side Slope Struggles
Reflecting on his performance, particularly on the 15th hole where his approach shot found water before making par, DeChambeau explained, “I was on a side slope, I’ve got to work on side slopes with my irons. I felt really uncomfortable on the side slope.” He added, “It’s just the side slopes and not being comfortable.” Despite the frustration, DeChambeau emphasized a positive outlook, stating, “There’s a lot to take away from this week, a lot to learn… I’ve learned a lot and I’m ready to take on the challenge again.”
DeChambeau Claims McIlroy Remained Silent During Final Round
In a post-round interview, DeChambeau conveyed a sense of frustration, mentioning an alleged lack of interaction with McIlroy throughout Sunday’s play. DeChambeau revealed that there was no communication between him and McIlroy as they competed for the coveted green jacket on Sunday.
When questioned about McIlroy’s mindset ahead of the playoff against Rose, DeChambeau, representing LIV Golf, responded curtly, “No idea. He didn’t talk to me once, all day.” Expanding on the atmosphere in the players’ lounge, he described it as “Electric. I loved it,” but noted McIlroy’s demeanor, suggesting, “he was just like… being focused, I guess. It’s not me, though.”

DeChambeau Reflects on McIlroy’s Victory and Performance Fluctuations
Reflecting on McIlroy’s path to victory, which included overcoming moments of instability during the final round before securing a playoff win with a birdie, DeChambeau commented on the pressure of major championships. He said, “When you’re trying to win a major championship, especially out here, Sunday of the Augusta Masters, you have to just do it and get the job done. Do it right.” DeChambeau observed fluctuations in McIlroy’s performance, noting, “There were times when he (McIlroy) looked like he had full control, and times when I was like, ‘What’s going on?’. It kind of looked like one of my rounds actually!”
