Rory McIlroy has revealed that Cameron Young was pulled over to have a chat with Masters referees during the final round.
McIlroy made history by becoming just the fourth man ever to win back-to-back green jackets, playing alongside Young on the last day.
He claimed the sixth major of his incredible career with another Masters title, coming out on top despite a nervy bogey on the 18th hole.
There were many tense moments on the iconic course on the final round, with one standing out to a reporter post-tournament.
McIlroy was asked in his press conference after putting on his second green jacket at Augusta to explain what happened on Hole 13.
The Northern Irishman appeared to hold back from walking up to his ball ahead of his second shot.
He hung back with his caddie, Harry Diamond, rather than striding his way straight up to the ball following his tee shot.
And it caught the eye of those watching on, with McIlroy revealing more after it was brought up in his chat with the media.
He explained: “I don’t know what had happened, but Cam was pulled in behind some hedges by a couple of referees to talk about something that may or may not have happened on the course.
“I don’t know what it was about. I didn’t ask him.
“But I thought instead of me getting up there and waiting at my ball forever, I’d just hang back until Cam came back out.
“I don’t really like that second shot anyway, so I don’t need to be up there looking at it for too long.
“So I just tried to hang back to, you know, just so I could get to the ball and go through my normal routine and not be waiting up there for what I would feel like is forever.”
It remains unknown what Young was told by the referees or vice versa during the unseen moment in the hedges.
But the American wasn’t the first player over the weekend at The Masters who had to chat with officials.
Masters officials were kept busy
The Masters referees were called into action earlier in the day on the final round, after Sergio Garcia let out his anger.
Garcia destroyed the second hole tee box and snapped his club following a wayward drive that saw him see red.
He was issued a code of conduct warning by the rules and competition committee chairman for his actions.
And that drama followed Robert MacIntyre getting himself into some trouble with officials for getting frustrated too.
MacIntyre stuck his middle finger up at the green during a nightmare opening round at Augusta, while also being heard swearing.
He was spoken to for that conduct before he went on to risk the wrath of further punishment with a post on social media.
Following a missed cut, MacIntyre posted a picture of himself as one of the famous Augusta gnomes with its middle finger up.
