Past Player Quotes – The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club

On the Course in General

Rory McIlroy: Patience, discipline, don’t make big numbers. It feels like a very negative way to think, but it’s the way to play around this place. You don’t have to do anything spectacular. I played with D.J. in the first two rounds when he won here in 2020. He did the right things and he put it in the right spots and he held a few putts and he took advantage of the par-5s, and he basically did everything that this golf course asks of you. That’s what this place is all about. It’s as much of a chess game as anything else, and it’s just about putting yourself in the right positions and being disciplined and being patient and knowing that pars are good.

Bryson DeChambeau: The most important thing about Augusta National, is it doesn’t test just the driving. It tests your second shots, it tests the third shot. I think that’s what’s so special about here is that you have to have every facet of your game working really, really well.
