    Amanda Balionis shared a touching tribute to golfer Aaron Rai as she praised him for being an "incredible champion."

    The CBS Sports presenter took to her Instagram page to share her story of witnessing Rai's success over the years as she enthused about him to her followers. Posting a picture of herself interviewing him on Instagram she complimented the British sportsman on his successes and his persistence.

    She wrote: "Aaron Rai rounds out the list of incredible champions that have graced our weekends on @golfoncbs this season! The Englishman had come excruciatingly close so many times over the years and to watch him come out on top on a week like this was fitting.

    "Nothing about this week was easy. It was a true test of patience, execution and grit and Rai showcased all three of those qualities in spades down to the final hole. I watched as Billy Horschel and his caddie, Micah, had a really special moment with Rai’s caddie, Jason, as they congratulated him on the win. Jason was emotional and told me that it’s been a six year journey with his guy to get to this point and it was undoubtedly worth the wait."

    Amanda recently shared a cryptic post about 'connecting with people'. This comes after Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll were spotted enjoying some Olympic action together in Paris.

    The four-time major winner and his wife have been making headlines recently after McIlroy announced they had begun divorce proceedings. However, these plans were later called off and the couple decided to give their relationship another go.

    McIlroy's personal life came under scrutiny during the build-up to the US Open when he revealed his divorce plans and was subsequently linked romantically with Balionis. Rumors of a potential romance between the two intensified after they shared a light-hearted interview, during which Balionis was seen without her wedding ring.

    But any speculation about them being an item was quashed when McIlroy and Stoll put their divorce proceedings on hold. Since then, Balionis has posted several enigmatic messages on Instagram, leading some to speculate that they may be related to McIlroy. Her collection of July highlights, includes a message about connecting through humor and enjoying laughter with others.

    "Cherish the gift of humor. Life doesn't need to be so gloomy. Spirituality doesn't need to be so serious and somber. Work doesn't need to be that way either. Learn to see the humor in life. Look for it. Find it. Enjoy it. Surround yourself with people who like to laugh," the post read.

    "Being around people who laugh can open us up to the power of humor in our own lives. Laughter can become contagious. There is something magnetic, something healing, about being around people who let themselves laugh often."
