Rory McIlroy has saved one of his best shots at the British Open for Bryson DeChambeau. The world No. 2 didn’t hold back when asked for his thoughts on DeChambeau’s conduct late Friday when the American was involved in a lengthy, heated post-round exchange with rules officials. They were reviewing whether he had inadvertently improved the path of his swing on the fifth hole and DeChambeau was penalized two shots. McIlroy says he's “not particularly fond of” DeChambeau, that his actions were “performative” and “for attention” and that the American was trying to “hold the tournament hostage.” McIlroy shot 1-under 69 in the third round.
