McIlroy didn't have the best time at Royal Troon, clocking in a seven-over 78 on the first day his worst major start since 2019. He was so over it that he started thinking about his holiday plans mid-tournament.

"Yeah, I think once I made the 8 on the fourth hole, that was it - 22 holes into the event and I'm thinking about where I'm going to go on vacation next week," McIlroy confessed.

Donned in a red dress cinched at the waist along with brown cowboy boots, Balionis embodied the modern cowgirl vibe.

Adding to the rustic charm in the background was a horse-rider garbed in a white top and traditional cowboy hat. The calming backdrop of Bob Ross-style mountains and a pristine blue sky resembled that of an old Western postcard scene.

But that's not all from Balionis she also shared a selfie taken with the famous wooden sign of Yellowstone National Park and another photograph showed her next to a snug log cabin nestled amongst verdant meadows, encapsulating the serene nature of her trip.
