Phil Mickelson took to social media to make some bold claims about the number one player in the world.
Phil Mickelson has come out firing on this Players Championship Sunday.
Immediately after Joaquin Niemann won his second LIV Golf title of the season in Singapore, Mickelson referred to the Chilean as the best player in the world on X.
His tweet was in response to a post from Torque GC, which claimed that Niemann is a top-5 player in the world right now.

Joaquín Niemann has got to be a top 5 player in the world right now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bella Nascimento scored 33 points, including a clutch jumper with 11 seconds left, lifting ninth-seeded William & Mary to a shocking 66-63 victory over No. 3-seed Campbell to win the Coastal Athletic Association Tournament on Sunday.
The Tribe (15-18) advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time and will be the first sub-.500 team since Incarnate Word in 2022.
William & Mary surrendered the first 14 points of the game and trailed 20-9 at the end of the first quarter. The Tribe outscored Campbell (21-12) in each of the last three quarters.

One of the perks of winning a conference championship is cutting down the net following the victory.
Teams usually bring out a ladder to allow their players to cut down a piece of the net. Then, the scissors are passed to the next teammate until the net is down and thrown around someone’s neck. For Florida men’s basketball star, Olivier Rioux, one step was not necessary following the Gators‘ SEC championship game win over Tennessee: the ladder.
The 7-foot-9 big man cut down the net without a ladder.

Ruben Amorim will be thrilled as his Manchester United side showed no weariness or letdown after an exciting midweek in Europe, toppling Leicester City 3-0 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

United beat Real Sociedad in the Europa League Round of 16 on Thursday and had a quick turnaround for an away Premier League game at struggling Leicester.
But old Ruud van Nistelrooy really didn’t have the Foxes anywhere near the visitors, as Bruno Fernandes scored late after setting up goals for Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.

If you plan on sliding into Angel Reese’s DMs, you’d better bring some creativity to the table.
During the most recent episode of her Unapologetically Angel podcast, the newly-named Unrivaled Defensive Player of the Year chatted with rapper Lady London about the corniest pickup lines they’ve received from men on social media.
And Reese is tired of the same old lines about how tall she is.
“I feel like since I’m tall, the ‘climb the tree’ thing, that’s not cute,” she said.

While still pretty tame and classic at the MLB level, baseball celebrations have evolved in recent years, specifically in college baseball. Gone are the days when players flex their muscles, point to their dugout, or simply scream out of excitement. Now, you’ll see players dancing, shooting fake arrows, or doing whatever the hell else they find unique and fun after connecting on a nice hit.
Just when we thought we’d seen it all in the celebration category, in steps Michigan’s Mitch Voit.
The Wolverines welcomed USC to town this weekend to begin Big Ten play.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Paolo Banchero scored 24 points, Franz Wagner added 22 and the Orlando Magic stunned Cleveland 108-103 on Sunday to end the Cavaliers’ winning streak at 16 games.
The Cavs lost for the first time since Feb. 4 as the Eastern Conference leaders were unable to put away the Magic in the final minutes. Cleveland missed five shots — three by All-Star Donovan Mitchell — in the final minute.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been suggested as fits for plenty of free agents before and after the market opened.
One of those common themes has been the suggestion that the Bengals should add a cornerback to the roster, which makes some sense. The team has young upstarts Dax Hill and DJ Turner coming back from injuries, while Cam Taylor-Britt’s play tanked last season.

Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta On Importance Of Atalanta Clash: “Tonight An Exam For Us”
Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta addressed the press in the build-up to tonight’s crucial Serie A game against Atalanta.
Speaking to DAZN via FCInterNews, Marotta explained why the Italian giants recently faced domestic criticism.
Despite commencing this round at the top of the pile, Inter have recently stuttered in Serie A.
For context, they’ve won none of their last four league games on the road, picking up just two points in that sequence.

Earlier this month, the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles handed Saquon Barkley a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. Until the new Barkley extension, which makes his two-year deal a four-year commitment, no NFL running back had ever been paid $20+ million per season.
According to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, the contract includes clauses that enable Barkley to earn an additional $15 million in performance-based add-ons while also fully guaranteeing a cool $36 million.
