Rory McIlroy was interviewed by CBS journalist Amanda Balionis on Sunday, just days after his divorce from Erica Stoll sparked rumors of a romance between the couple.
McIlroy shot a final-round 64 to put himself in contention at the RBC Canadian Open at Hamilton Golf and Country Club as his encouraging form continued.
Minutes later, the Northern Irishman stood in front of the cameras to reflect on his performance in a face-to-face interview with Balionis on CBS Sports.
The couple has been in the headlines in recent days after McIlroy filed for divorce from his wife Erica Stoll, while Balionis ditched her wedding ring and dropped her married name.
This led many fans to wonder how close the couple have become. Neither McIlroy nor Balionis have commented publicly on the rumors.
Reports this week insisted that the couple “are not dating and are only in a personal relationship.” They shared several laughs during Sunday’s interview, at which point McIlroy was within a couple of strokes of leader Robert McIntyre.
