Amanda Balionis’ posts speak volumes as Rory McIlroy flees to mansion with wife

Golf presenter Amanda Balionis missed Rory McIlroy’s US Open heartache while enjoying a sun-soaked beach getaway.

The CBS Sports reporter posted a bikini-clad photo to her Instagram account, taken from a weekend in the Hamptons – a popular US seaside destination.

Balionis was rumoured to have been involved romantically with McIlroy, who endured a weekend to forget at the US Open.

The Northern Irishman boasted a two-stroke lead heading into the final part of Sunday’s action in North Carolina, only to throw away his advantage and gift-wrap the title for Bryson DeChambeau.

Following the collapse, McIlroy fled the Pinehurst course in under an hour, returning to the £17million Florida mansion he shares with wife Erica Stoll.

The US Open heartbreak comes amid a turbulent time in the golfer’s life, with McIlroy having recently called off his planned divorce wife Stoll.

It was reported in May that the pair had filed for a divorce, only to perform a dramatic u-turn ahead of last week’s US Open.

Addressing the situation, the four-time major winner told The Guardian: “Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together.

“Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
