Paige Spiranac, the popular golf influencer, couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared a celebratory photo ahead of the thrilling final round showdown between Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau at The Masters.
The influencer, who has been closely following the prestigious event, posted the snapshot on social media, capturing herself with a big smile and eyes shut, sporting a laid-back bucket hat.
A Captivating Moment Ahead of the Big Finale
In her post, Spiranac captured the essence of the anticipation surrounding Sunday’s conclusion.
She captioned the photo, “Mood when you get to watch Rory and Bryson in the final group tomorrow at The Masters.”
Her enthusiasm reflected the electric atmosphere building as these two golfers, each vying for their first-ever Masters victory, prepared to face off for the coveted Green Jacket.
A Fierce Battle for the Green Jacket
Both McIlroy and DeChambeau are elite golfers who have never won The Masters, making their pairing on Sunday particularly compelling.
Heading into the final round, McIlroy had a two-shot advantage over DeChambeau, with the American star sitting at 10-under par.
For McIlroy, this tournament represented a prime opportunity to break his decade-long streak without a major win, and fans had high hopes for him to secure the victory.
Nerves on the First Tee
However, things quickly took a turn on the first hole of the final round.
McIlroy double-bogeyed while DeChambeau played it safe with a par, evening the two competitors as they moved forward.
Spiranac, who has been keeping a close eye on the action, took to social media, commenting on the intense nerves both players must have felt.
“I can’t even fathom how nervous Rory and Bryson were on the first tee. I’m nervous and I’m not even playing lol,” she humorously shared, offering a relatable moment for her followers.
Spiranac’s Continued Presence at The Masters
Throughout the tournament, Spiranac has been in Augusta, taking in the live action of one of the most prestigious golfing events in the world.
In fact, back in February, Spiranac had made her pick for who she believed would take home the Green Jacket this year—McIlroy.
“I say this every single year, but Rory is going to win the green jacket,” Spiranac confidently declared in a post, expressing her belief that McIlroy’s time had finally come.
With McIlroy’s performance still up in the air, fans, including Spiranac, are eagerly awaiting to see how the final round unfolds in this thrilling Masters finale.
