BREAKING NEWS Rory McIlroy tells Amanda Balionis exactly how he will beat Bryson DeChambeau to win the Masters By BEN NAGLE Published: 19:30 EDT, 12 April 2025 | Updated: 19:30 EDT, 12 April 2025 e-mail View comments Rory McIlroy has detailed exactly how he plans to shut out the noise and beat Bryson DeChambeau to finally win his elusive first Masters on an electric Sunday at Augusta. The Northern Irishman goes into the final day with a two-shot lead over his American rival, in a rematch of the 2024 US Open that saw DeChambeau come from behind to beat him. But now, in a live CBS television interview with Amanda Balionis that had fans locked in, McIlroy has detailed his plan to overcome his demons and pull on the Green Jacket for the first time in his career.
'I think the thing is to not make it a rematch,' four-time major winner McIlroy told Balionis on air, adding that he plans to 'stay in his own world' to drown out the noise of the patrons at Augusta. That is in stark contract to DeChambeau, who spent much of Saturday afternoon high-fiving his supporters and reveling in the cheers as he walked between holes. After a monster birdie putt on 18, the American could be heard shouting, 'Let's go! That's what I'm talking about' as he walked off the course.
McIlroy, meanwhile, is keen to stay much calmer and more measured as he attempts to win his first major since 2014 - an 11-year drought at the top level. More to follow.
