Young is not as popular as DeChambeau, so McIlroy will likely also receive the louder cheers when he makes birdies on Sunday.
“I don’t get the sense I’ll be the fan favorite, but yeah, I feel like the support, some fans that cheer for me have gotten louder over the last year,” Young explained. Photo by Hector Vivas/Getty Images “It will still be lopsided, I think. Rory is kind of a world favorite in the golf world.
“A year ago, if I’d been in the same situation, there would have been very little, and now there’s probably a little more. So I’ll take what I can get, and I’ll be happy with that. ” Young’s level-headed approach will help him at Augusta on Sunday, as he relishes the challenge of opposing McIlroy.
