Back at the Cognizant Classic, golfer Jake Knapp became just the 15th player in PGA Tour history to break 60 with a first round 59. While he didn’t win at the event, his girlfriend Makena White certainly emerged victorious. After Knapp broke the record, she posted a photo of him in between eating snacks with some crazy editing efforts. He had three palms, two making a five and one with four fingers showing along with a caption, “That’s Mr. 59 for you.” Overnight, White saw her following grow and since then, we have been a fan of the Canadian’s humorous, honest, and often-unfiltered takes.

In the Masters, she openly started a war suggesting “Every putting grip/ style that is not conventional gives me the ick. There I said it.” While this post again did get a lot of attention, the main spotlight went to her response on a follower’s comment where she laid it out for Knapp to continue using the conventional methods or “we’d need to have a serious chat.” Well, they probably did not have a serious chat back then, but in her latest social media antics, White made the CBS reporter Amanda Balionis a partner in crime when she was busy taking Knapp’s post-round interview.

The CBS Sports reporter was conducting a routine interview with Jake Knapp when her phone buzzed. Apparently, after watching that Balionis was in the middle of her one-on-one, Makena White tagged her on an Instagram story. The reporter, ever so strict with how she attends to her business, might have asked the question in most of the cases, except… this is what White requested: “Ask him if he has a crush on me @amanda.”

Of course, while Amanda Balionis might have a Q&A session someday and answer the questions or take up a dare to do the same, this was not one of the days. Nevertheless, she did re-share the story on her Instagram story responding to White’s demand, “Took all of my self-control to not ask about the mandatory toast consumption 😂”

Just another post by White trying to move the fundamentals of the current-day media by requesting questions to be asked through social media. But it’s hard to deny that this was some crazy ask. However, not so much so that White has literally acted as a reporter for her boyfriend’s big achievement.

Makena White’s stint as a ‘reporter’

Although one can say by her posts that she does enjoy reporting about anything and everything golf, White doesn’t technically have a tag of a reporter. But should that stop her from acting like one? Seemingly not. When Knapp shot 59 at the Cognizant Classic, no wonder everyone was shocked at what had just happened. The golfer who was slowly making his name in the PGA Tour since 2024 shot his name high among the rising stars and has been on the journey since. One of the persons in the crowd who also thought the record was “crazy” was White.

As Knapp got to her after his round, the two first hugged and kissed in celebration as White exclaimed, “That’s insane!” While returning to the locker room, White changed her avatar quickly, making a microphone out of her hand and directly asked Knapp, “So, how do you feel about that round?” While the golfer’s response was not audible in the clip, White’s excitement was more than visible.

According to her, “The bartender gave me a shot after you hooped that birdie putt.” But her thrill to see her boyfriend join only 14 other golfers in such a huge list was certainly visible. As for her wish to ask unusual questions through Amanda Balionis? Well, maybe we will have some more moments of plain humor from the Canadian as Knapp continues to make his name on the PGA Tour.
