Rory McIlroy snubbed by Amanda Balionis in surprise US Open prediction
Rory McIlroy will be on the hunt for more major success at the US Open this week but CBS star Amanda Balionis has made a surprise tip to find glory in Pennsylvania Amanda Balionis has tipped Sam Burns for success in the US Open later this week, even with competition to come from the likes of Scott Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. The CBS Sports reporter has been said to have a close relationship with McIlroy but it did not prevent her from looking elsewhere for a shout at who could earn glory. And it is Burns who has received her backing following his tense play-off defeat at the Canadian Open on Sunday. The 28-year-old American put in a stunning final round to record an eight-under-par 62 before New Zealand's Ryan Fox matched his 18-under-par score to force a play-off. It took a further four holes to separate the pair with Fox earning a birdie to secure victory. But the outing still shows that Burns is ready to be competitive. At least, CBS star Balionis was convinced enough by his performance. Burns, ranked 22nd in the world, made seven consecutive cuts and finished in the top five twice in the run up to making the trip to Oakmont Country Club. "Fox will tell you it took him longer than expected to settle in here on the PGA Tour, but after a dramatic win a month ago, the Kiwi is playing free and is now a multiple-time winner," said Balionis after Fox's win in Canada. "Sam Burns is playing out of his mind right now. Once again, the LSU talent put himself in the mix, and if I'm you, I'm snagging him early for any US Open pools you might be in." Despite Balionis' faith, Burns has often failed to show his best in major competitions in his career. The Canada Open runner-up has managed just one top-10 finish in 20 majors and tied ninth at last year's US Open at Pinehurst No.2. McIlroy meanwhile has his own issues despite banishing his Grand Slam demons. A change of driver has caused some issues for the 36-year-old, who missed the cut at the Canadian Open. Balionis will not be working in Pennsylvania to see whether her tip pays off. Instead NBC will be in charge of the broadcast for the third major tournament of the year. The 38-year-old reporter is scheduled to return to action the following week at TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. Signing off from her time in Toronto, Balionis said: "We had The Rink, we had the cutest kids visit us on set, we had the New Zealand national football team living and dying by every Ryan Fox shot. "We had an incredible national open. It's time for a week off. In my best Mike Wilbon voice, 'Goodnight Canada!'".

Matt Vogt: Business booming at my dental practice after US Open qualification
Vogt earned his place at the prestigious tournament at Oakmont Country Club when he swapped the drill for the driver and made it through qualification last week in one of the great sporting stories. The 34-year-old, who is ranked 1,173rd in the amateur game, turned his back on the chance to play professional golf in order to study dentistry seven years ago, before his love of the game brought him back. A post shared by Matt Vogt (@mattvogt317) After making it into the 156-strong field, Vogt's rise to fame is helping business at his Indianapolis practice. 'I started my own practice in 2018 and that was an insane amount of work obviously, just starting any business,' he said. 'I love my patients. I'd like to think they love me as much as they can love a dentist. 'I think they've gotten a ton of enquiries. Again, I've got such a great team, I've got friends helping me out with all those messages and enquiries. 'It's been a lot of fun, some patients reaching out and fellow dentists. I feel like there's so many people behind me this week – Oakmont, Pittsburgh, dentistry. It's been fun. 'I really never had any aspirations of playing professional golf. I went to Butler University and played very briefly on the golf team and then decided to focus on school. 'Honestly, maybe I didn't dream big enough or maybe, I don't know, I just never quite had it. I played around a lot of guys who you could tell had it and had a chance to make a shot at professional golf. It never really crossed my mind.' It is sure to be an emotional week for Vogt, not only returning to the course where he caddied for five years but also because it comes two months after the death of his father Jim to colon cancer. With Sunday's climax coinciding with Father's Day, Vogt will have his dad in his thoughts. 'It's definitely on my mind. Even walking up the ninth fairway today after signing some autographs for some little kids, I kind of looked up and thought about it,' he added. 'Anyone who's lost a parent, you feel these brief spurts of emotion, I think, from time to time. 'Although I wish he was still here with us, and yes, I'm sure this weekend will be emotional, there's a sense of peace among our family and I hope he's at peace as well because it was hard.' Vogt used to caddy for members at Oakmont so has a unique perspective and knowledge of the course. "I think this weekend is going to be full of gratitude and hopefully some good golf too." Former Oakmont caddie Matt Vogt is soaking it all in as he prepares to make his U.S. Open debut. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 9, 2025 'So we got to play Monday nights and honestly, we did not appreciate that as much as we should have,' he said. 'Reading the greens now, just being a different person, player, golfer, I feel like, again, it's hard – like sometimes using your eyes out here doesn't work. 'So trying to use your feet, trying to look from the sides really as you're walking up and around the greens, it's different than just maybe telling someone, a 10 handicapper, 'hey, kind of hit it up in here and have fun'.'
