Rory vs Bryson final Sunday pairing at the Masters and the internet explodes: Social media reactions and memes
We got what we wanted. Golf fans are elated and can’t wait to watch two of golf’s best compete on Sunday at the Masters with so much on the line.


Where do we begin? Rory’s career grand slam? US Open rematch? Europe vs USA? LIV vs PGA? This final pairing has it all. Two different personalities, different styles and approaches and one thing in common: DeChambeau and McIlroy can send bombs. Watching these two big hitters will be intense on Sunday afternoon at Augusta National, where it will all come down to putting and chipping.
Social media reactions
Golf analysts, journalists, reporters and fans, especially the patrons, voiced their opinions on Instagram, X and other digital platforms:

One fan thinks the Masters champions will be cheering for Rory to avoid disaster at next year’s Masters Champions’ dinner:

Super 70s sports said what many of us are thinking. Bryson is great, but it would be heartbreaking if Rory lost again:
I like Bryson a lot and he’d be a hell of a champion. But everybody who’s ever struggled to get over the hump in any facet of their life understands what Rory is up against. He’s not a perfect person but neither are we. This is it, kid. Go do it. pic.twitter.com/voJA398brz

You can’t help but laugh at this one. It’s funny because it’s true:

Couldn’t leave out the Shooter McGavin reference from Happy Gilmore:

This is definitely in the minds of both. It just seems that DeChambeau has a psychological advantage:

Could be awkward for Billy Horschel if he’s on the Ryder Cup team with Bryson in September:
Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for the game of golf. Lots of story lines. Course will be getable with benign conditions. History possibly in the making. I can’t wait to watch tomorrow like every other golf fan. Personally, I would love to see Rory win and achieve…

Saving this one for last. It’s going to be entertaining for us golf fans, but a battle for Rory and Bryson:
