Saturday night and Sunday morning were filled with anticipation and angst at the 2025 Masters. The buzz around Augusta National and on couches nationwide was palpable as everyone waited patiently for 2:30 p.

Rory McIlroy wouldn't speak to playing partner Bryson DeChambeau during the final round Sunday at the Masters, and it turns out that was all part of his strategy. McIlroy's sports psychologist Bob Rotella claimed his silent treatment had nothing to do with DeChambeau and was more about keeping the 35-year-old focused on the task of winning the tournament.

DeChambeau bogeyed his next two holes to give the lead right back to McIlroy. Following a string of six straight pars, the Modesto, CA native double bogeyed the par-4 11th and bogeyed the par-3 12th to plummet down the Masters leaderboard.
