Weekend winners
Sam Burns. First, the course in Austin where the Dell Match Play event — which Burns won over the weekend — is held looks like a terrifically fun place to play. In fitting fashion to the craziness and randomness of the NCAA tournament, since Sam Burns got so hot this week against a great field, let’s go ahead and crown him the Masters champ, the British Open winner and the Ryder Cup captain. Cool.
Braves fans. Baseball is upon us. Thank goodness. Plus, the new City Connect jersey with the throwback logo and the new twists is pretty awesome. Side question: I grew up loving the classic style of the Dodgers uniforms, but the Braves have a top-five MLB uni right?
Keith Mitchell and Harris English. Golf Digest reported over the weekend that with the days dwindling and with the two former Baylor School grads still in the top in official world golf rankings, both are headed to Augusta in a couple of weeks for a little tournament called the Masters.
Caitlin Clark. The best player in college hoops is a female junior at Iowa. Look her up and put respect on her name. She dropped a 40-point triple double to get Iowa to the Final Four. Her box score is off-the-charts special.
