Justin Thomas Responds to DeChambeau’s Masters Comments
Justin Thomas recently shared his perspective on Bryson DeChambeau’s remarks about Rory McIlroy’s silence during the Masters. Speaking on the *Pardon My Take* podcast, Thomas emphasized that most golfers are focused on their own game, not conversation.
When asked if McIlroy’s quietness indicated something deeper, Thomas clarified that limited talk during twosomes is typical. He noted that slower threesomes allow more interaction, but players generally prioritize performance over socializing during intense rounds.
DeChambeau had earlier claimed McIlroy ignored him, but later clarified there was no animosity. He praised Rory’s long-awaited Major win, which completed his career Grand Slam—a milestone eleven years in the making.
McIlroy, meanwhile, revealed his silent approach was intentional. Advised by his sports psychologist, he remained focused and avoided distractions, a strategy that evidently paid off. The 35-year-old is expected to continue this winning mindset in future tournaments.
