CBS Sports reporter Amanda Balionis Renner fired back at fans on social media over the weekend after some took issue with her interview with 2023 Travelers Championship winner Keegan Bradley, when she called the tournament a "hometown event," despite him being a Vermont native. 

Bradley, who is originally from Woodstock, Vermont, broke the tournament record at the Travelers Championship on Sunday with his 2-under 68 finish to win his sixth PGA Tour event at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

"What does it mean to be a winner at your hometown event?" Renner asked an emotional Bradley.

"This is for all the kids that grew up in New England, gotta sit through the winters and watch other people play golf," the 37-year-old pro responded. 

"I just am so proud to win this tournament. Traveler’s and everybody involved puts on a first class tournament. It’s been like this for a decade, and I’m just so proud to be the winner here."
