Golf: McIlroy’s lack of communication was part of his strategy during final round of Masters

# Golf: Rory McIlroy’s lack of communication with his playing partner was part of his strategy in Sunday’s final round of the Masters at Augusta in Georgia. Local player Bryson DeChambeau couldn’t understand why the Northern Irishman would’t talk to him once all day. McIlroy went on to beat England’s Justin Rose on the first play-off hole and claim his career Grand Slam. His sports psychologist, Bob Rotella, says they didn’t want to pay attention to anyone else, but just concentrate on McIlroy’s game, and it paid off.
