Augusta, GA – video games are created to be invaded. There is a beginning and a conclusion, with a limited life in the middle. You collect goods, face mini-fidas and claim extra winEach of which prepares you for what is coming: the last boss.
Who is, in this case, Bryson Dechambeau.
This masters should feel like an Respawn from last year We open to the pinhurstNot only because Rory Mcilroy is the role player in the center of the Golf Universe, but because his most powerful antagonist awaits him, as he did last June.
Mcilroy has been with stone face all week. Dechambeau has been stone cold Steve Austin, staring down A group of Rory fans on Saturday, reminding them I’m still here.
Mcilroy is carefully guiding himself around Augusta National, hands at 10 and 2. Dechambeau has one side on the displacement equipment, the other by throwing five-high from the window.
Mcilroy headed home on Saturday night in order to ignore his phone. Dechambeau heard this and said to the press, “I don’t have that problem.” He will spend some time on Instagram. (We are thinking that his followers count is increasing.)
It is wrong to call this wonderful antagonist showman, especially as Dechambeau hit five bags of balls on Saturday at night with a full, golden moon like his flood light. He is such a perfect as SA-especially with a two-stroke deficit-he still feels like a submissive person. A healthy part of the clients would label that lead actor, but Mcilroy has fought this war for much longer. Trying to win a master for his entire life, trying to win a major for a decade, and trying to win the Moral Battle of the PGA Tour VS Liv for at least three years.
Dechambeau opposes everything. He gladly left PGA Tour for a mega-million material. it Was his The victory in 2020 that led Mcilroy to follow the distance, throwing his swing from the whip. Dechambeau called this Tempest of a Golf Course a Par-67 manageable that year, and most of us believed it, in the same way you can line up with an illegal because, cursing, weapons are sucking.
But because of those two shocks between them, and because of the weight of the Grand Slam immortality, Sunday is about Mcilroy First, Dechambeau Second. Pinehurst was also that way. Mcilroy had two strokes with 67 holes, playing a group ahead of Dechambeau, ready to post a result and see if he could lead him.
Rory Mcilroy just raised the most terrifying round of his life
The beauty of that battle resided in the appearance of Pinhurst, which contains a 16th hole that goes along 17, just a few sand specifications between that time. The 18th green sits on top of a hill, allowing a look back, down to the top. The geography of that course was Mcilroy to look very much Dechambeau that day, looking back to appreciate how he should play ahead. Mcilroy agreed to think that Dechambeau could disturb the 72nd hole, based on its fixed thesis shot in a waste area. Dechambeau made a world -class principle. Thanks to a camera in the note room, You can see mcilroy Tossing controllers on the walls on the head. He left the parking lot that night without saying a word, and spent parts of the next two weeks walking anonymously through a New York City tourist bar, thinking…
How can I win this game?
You turn the system again and try again. But that doesn’t make the latest boss the weakest. If anything, we have seen the opposite. Dechambeau has spent the last nine months reusing himself as other The modern global star that everyone always seems to be reaching. When he walked from the 18th green to score Saturday night, it was Dechambeau, not Mcilroy, who had four members of the club with wide trinkets, with green jackets waiting for them.
They will not publicly admit it, but 300 or more members will make up their mind on Sunday afternoon if they have not already decided. Thank you in part for a match for TV in December and, well, everything else in this sport-tifos are forced to decide whether they are Team Rory or Team Bryson. If they like to look at the greatness in the historical golf courses or if they will better roll in the latest episode of Breaking 50.
They were in the proximity of each other for most of the third round, close enough to shake, but not enough to look at the point of agreeing on this, Is happening again. Their game took care of this, raising them two of everyone else. Bryson’s boys quickly left Rory. Fans Rory Antagonize Bryson.
They can be friendly, but they are not friends. Mcilroy congratulated Dechambeau for his Pinehurst triumph in the open championship a month later, but the two barely talked about it. “We’ve been fine,” Dechambeau admitted on Saturday night, but that’s about it. There was also Dig Driving-Range Dig He dechambeau made Mcilroy’s expense in the lead until their battle for TV in December. She went viral, like the many things dechambeau does. And you probably tight if you’ve seen it because, For the winner, go the loot … remind your opponent how you press their soul.
If Sunday plays similarly, there will be much more memory, under the shade of Pantone 342. Fortunately, it will be different from the pinhurst in a guaranteed way: there will be no back or flexion for the group forward. Hero -hero Vs Villain in the last group together. From the same side of the Tee box and similar parts of the road. They have reached the final level.
Or has returned to the beginning of another.
