Amanda Balionis praised for handling ‘awkward’ Scottie Scheffler interview
Amanda Balionis handled an awkward moment with professionalism and grace after PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler broke down coughing and sneezing during a CBS interview
Fans have praised Amanda Balionis’ professionalism after she perfectly handled an awkward moment during a recent interview with Scottie Scheffler.
Scottie Scheffler sat down with the CBS Sports’ reporter following his impressive outing on Day 3 of the PGA Championship. The 28-year-old golf-pro went on to win the Championship, earning his third major title on Sunday afternoon. But despite playing at the top of his game, it was clear Scheffler was suffering from an extremely common summertime issue – allergies.
As he sat down with Balionis, Scheffler could hardly hold back coughing and sneezing. The interruptions could have made the interview seem disjointed but Balionis was unfazed.
Balionis said: “Bless you and cough,” then turned to the camera and said, “Allergies are really bad here in Charlotte. That’s our first breaking news.”
But Scheffler struggled to contain himself, still coughing and spluttering as the reporter waited to ask another question.
“Sorry, I’m just nervous,” he said awkwardly and Balionis jokingly replied, “You haven’t done one of these before.”
Fans pointed out her kind way of dealing with the slight disruption to the flow of the chat, praising her interviewing skills as well as her humanity.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
