Amanda Balionis applauded Shane Lowry for his “hard work” at the Truist Championship
The 2025 Truist Championship was held from May 8 to 11, and Amanda Balionis was present at the Philadelphia Cricket Club to cover all the action. Following the conclusion of the exciting event, she shared a series of pictures on Instagram recapping her time there and congratulating Sepp Straka, who won.
In her post, the CBS Sports reporter also gave a shout-out to three-time PGA Tour winner Shane Lowry for his performance. The post caption read:
“Shoutout to @shanelowrygolf for his hard-fought week. This guy has been knocking at the door all season. He told us yesterday how hard it is to win out here and all he can do is keep knocking until that door opens…that wasn’t this week but it’s hard to imagine the payoff is far away.”
Notably, Shane Lowry narrowly missed the Truist Championship title and finished with 14-under. He was two strokes behind Sepp Straka and was tied at T2 with Justin Thomas.
