What Rory McIlroy once did that left Bryson DeChambeau feeling ‘honoured’
Bryson DeChambeau once opened up on how proud he was to have had Rory McIlroy say that he was inspired by the American’s approach to the game. Of course, McIlroy and DeChambeau have become rivals in recent years.
Bryson DeChambeau expressed his deep appreciation to Rory McIlroy for inspiring him and stating he felt honoured by McIlroy's comments. Despite being rivals, McIlroy's victory at Winged Foot in 2020 influenced DeChambeau, who won his first major title in a dominant performance. The rivalry between McIlroy and DeChambeau intensified over the years, marked by incidents at The US Open, Masters, and Ryder Cup.
McIlroy's actions, such as draping a European flag over DeChambeau's name at the Ryder Cup and criticizing his rival's antics, demonstrate the heightened intensity of their competition. However, the presence of two prominent stars with contrasting views undoubtedly adds excitement to the world of golf.
