Amanda Balionis posted a picture alongside Scheffler and wrote a detailed caption applauding his victory. She wrote:

"World Number 1 proving once again why he firmly holds that position. After fighting a left miss for his opening nine and finding himself tied for the lead with Jon Rahm early on the back."
"Scottie once again showed his resiliency and skill to run away with his first @pgachampionship victory by five strokes. The back nine was yet another clinic with big names breathing down his neck."

The CBS reporter went on to add that at 28-years-old Scottie Scheffler continued to defy any 'ceiling' that may have existed.

Besides covering the latest major tournament, Amanda Balionis kept herself occupied with other events that took place in Charlotte during the tournament. She attended a business event hosted by the German mobile telecommunications company, T-Mobile.

Balionis was joined by former NFL tight-end Greg Olsen at the business event. She had a 'full-circle moment' as she reunited with Olsen who was the first NFL player she had interviewed back when she covered high-school football, earlier in her career.
