Amanda Balionis toasts after eventful Zurich Classic and intimate Rory McIlroy chat
Amanda Balionis ended a frantic and stressful weekend in New Orleans by raising a glass with friends after another marathon golf event filled with weather shambles, power outages, and a sit-down with Rory McIlroy that stole the show. Balionis took to Instagram to post a celebratory story late Sunday night, clinking wine glasses with three friends at what appeared to be a local spot near TPC Louisiana in Avondale. The vibes were set to "Cheers to Life" by SondoMaster, especially the part of the record that says, "Let's celebrate this moment we're living. Raise our glasses with happy smiles." The 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans featured a 93-minute weather delay during the final round , thunderstorms that threatened from just seven miles out, and a network power outage so bad that CBS Sports once again had to think on the fly and play replays of last year's event. The tournament also saw a 92-minute delay in round three, also due to inclement weather, with McIlory having to wait over an hour just to putt .

It was a genuine interview with McIlroy and partner Shane Lowry, two old friends who once again put their well-known relationship on full display to the golf community. "Trevor Immelman said this is the most relaxed and happiest he's maybe ever seen you in your career," Balionis posed to McIlroy after their final round. McIlroy smiled while Lowry chimed in and said, "If he's not happy now, he never will be." The moment caught fire online, as fans quickly noted the easy chemistry between McIlroy and Balionis that has grown over the years through interviews. "These two are so fun together," wrote one fan, while another joked, "The way their eyes shine when they speak tells it all." McIlroy remains happily married to his wife Erica Stoll, who was present for his historic Masters win earlier this year. The pair celebrated their victory with a return trip to Ireland, including a stop in London , despite speculation that his wife and daughter did not join him on the return flight home. Even without a duo trophy in hand this season, McIlroy and Lowry made a run at defending their Zurich Classic title , tying for No. 12 place after shooting a rough 72 in the final round to finish. The duo of Benjamin Griffin and Andrew Novak outlasted Danish twins Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard by a single stroke, pocketing $2.65 million apiece for their first PGA Tour wins. Balionis has used her time after the tournament to show her fitness progress online. She has continued her ongoing work in the dog adoption space, hosting an adoption event for Tito's Golf Club and even involving golfer Davis Riley to help with adoption efforts for her Puppies and Golf nonprofit, which she founded as its President.

Ben Griffin, Andrew Novak team up to win Zurich Classic for their first PGA Tour wins
Ben Griffin, Andrew Novak team up to win Zurich Classic for their first PGA Tour wins Winning on the PGA Tour hasn't been easy for Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin. In their 100th and 89th Tour event respectively, they finally took care of business in the Big Easy, winning the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Sunday by one stroke over Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard. Novak and Griffin birdied the 71st hole to break a tie and closed in 1-under 71 in the foursomes format at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, Louisiana, for a 72-hole total of 28-under 260. Griffin pumped his fist and then searched for his caddie and partner for the celebration. "The reaction said it all," Griffin said. The Zurich Classic is a 72-hole stroke play format featuring four-ball (best ball) during the first and third rounds and foursomes (alternate shot) during the second and final rounds. Griffin and Novak held the 54-hole lead by three strokes but bogeyed three holes on the front nine and had to grind out victory on the back nine. The winning duo, who have played a lot of golf together over the years as residents of Saint Simons Island, Georgia, bogeyed the first but bounced back with a birdie at the second. Novak rammed in a 47-foot birdie putt at the fifth to stretch the lead back to three strokes. But they had to sit out a 93-minute weather delay due to lightning. When play resumed, Griffin and Novak missed an 18-foot par putt at No. 8 and followed with another bogey at nine, shrinking their lead to one at the turn and Capan and Knapp caught them with a birdie at 10. It was down to wire with three teams duking it out late on Sunday for the title. The team of identical brothers from Denmark – Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard – trailed by a stroke and needed to make something happen at 18. It looked over when Rasmus blew his tee shot left and couldn't do better than birdie for a 68. Frankie Capan III and Jake Knapp shared the lead and had the honor at the 183-yard par-3 17th. They hadn't made a bogey all day until Capan, a 25-year-old rookie, tugged his tee shot into the water and the best they could do was salvage bogey. They closed in 70 and finished third. Novak stepped up next and his tee shot hit left of the hole and barely stayed dry, hanging on to the fringe. Novak spread his right hand across his heart as CBS's Trevor Immelman noted, 'My heart skipped a beat.' It soared again when Griffin poured in a 35-foot birdie putt to build a two-stroke lead. "The wheels were coming off and I was having some issues out of the weather delay but we kept it together and that putt on 17 was unbelievable," Novak said.

Power outage disrupts TV coverage of 2025 Zurich Classic in New Orleans
Power outage disrupts TV coverage of 2025 Zurich Classic in New Orleans Trying to watch the final round of the 2025 Zurich Classic of New Orleans? Good luck. A power outage at TPC Louisiana affected TV coverage during the final round of the PGA Tour's only team event. Golf Channel went off air and pivoted to coverage of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic about 2:30 p.m. ET when the issue started in Louisiana. Then, when coverage shifted to CBS at 3 p.m. ET, the issue had not been resolved, and CBS chose to show footage from the final round last year. There is no timetable for when the Zurich Classic will be back on TV.
