PGA Tour pro snubs Bryson DeChambeau in bold Masters 2025 prediction
PGA Tour's Michael Kim picked up his favorite for the 2025 Masters title between Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau. This week, the Major is heading for its conclusion, with the final scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 13. McIlroy and DeChambeau took the top two spots on the leaderboard at the Major after 54 holes and are in contention to win the event.
Recently, taking to X account, Michael Kim, who is also playing at the Masters, shared his experience of playing in the Major and also made a bold prediction about the winner of the competition. He is rooting for the four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy this week. He wrote:
"CBS and ANGC couldn’t have asked for a better final day. Rory v Bryson. Unreal. I really think it’s Rory’s time. I’ll definitely be tuning in after I finish my round."
Michael Kim also praised Rory McIlroy for his impressive performance in the third round of the Masters.
"I was playing when those big roars from Rory was happening but it’s impossible to know who’s making them. Then I see the big scoreboards and went 😮. Unbelievable. It’s really cool to hear the roars reach other holes since they always talk about that on TV."
The Northern Irish player shot 66 to take a two-stroke lead in the game. Meanwhile, Michael Kim carded a round of 74 and slipped down eight spots on the leaderboard to settle in the T25 position with an overall score of even par.
