In another Instagram story, she posted a photo of New York City at sunset, and in the caption, she further discussed her experience. She wrote:

"This ride at sunset. This is not sponsored I'm just blown away 😂 from JFK to Hudson Yards it's $195 (more if you have bags that exceed $25) which is pretty much what you pay for an Uber during rush hour anyways ...but you get this view instead of traffic? I love New York."

The 2025 Travelers Championship was held from June 19 to 22 at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Keegan Bradley won the PGA Tour signature event by one stroke.

Balionis congratulated him by sharing a few pictures on her Instagram account, with a caption:

"What. A. Finish. @keeganbradley1 takes his 2nd @travelerschamp trophy is dramatic fashion, ensuring that the question of, “should he be a playing Captain?” will be discussed ad nauseam until the roster is solidified 😂 🇺🇸"

Bradley started his campaign at the tournament with an opening round of 64. He then played the next three rounds of 70, 63, and 68 to register a one-stroke win in the game over Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley.

Jason Day settled in a two-way tie for fourth place with Harris English, followed by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy tied for sixth.
