Caitlin Clark After WNBA Draft

WNBA

It was all smiles at Indiana headquarters on Monday during draft night. The Indian Fever named Iowa Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark as the draft’s first pick. The Fever has two of the greatest 3-point shooters in college hoops history. Clark is the NCAA record holder, having finished with 548 treys. Kelsey Mitchell, the No. 2 pick in 2018, had 497 3-pointers at Ohio State. It is not hard to sell Fever tickets now.

Monday’s Sports

Masters

With 31 feet left for Eagle, Scottie Scheffler became free. He was thinking about reclaiming ownership of the tournament. The putt snaked its way up the green before slipping into the right side of the hole. By the time the third round ended, it was no surprise that Scheffler’s name was the only one at 7-under par, one stroke clear of second place.
