Over-the-hill golfer Chris DiMarco’s LIV comment epitomizes sports entitlement | Commentary • High school scores and top performers from Tuesday, April 2

| | | | | The Magic can't take games off to end the season. Although they went 5-3, they lost key games during an eight-game homestand that could've solified a top 4 spot in the East. Those two losses by a combined 5 points hurt. ... Wait, now senior golfers are complaining about pay? How can Chris DiMarco expect feed his grandkids on a low seven-figure salary? 🥺... The women's NCAA tournament has delivered, and this weekend more fireworks are expected. The Final Four needed to have the biggest star in the game (Caitlan Clark) or most controversial figure (LSU coach Kim Mulkey), otherwise those viewership numbers would've taken a hit. ... Derik Queen outshined Montverde teammate Cooper Flagg in the McDonald's All-American game in Houston. But Flagg had his moments, too. | | | | With seven games remaining, five are on the road where Orlando is just 17-19. When the team doesn't play well, it tends to start slowly. Wednesday it'll be in New Orleans. | | | | | DiMarco, a 55-year-old golfer who won a grand total of three times on the PGA Tour, is actually whining because all of his fellow over-the-hill pros aren't making enough money on the senior circuit? Are you kidding me? | | | | | Among boys baseball winners were Lake Highland Prep, Mount Dora Christian Academy, Oviedo, Timber Creek and Hagerty. | | | | | The right-hander, who struggled on opening day and last year in the playoffs against Texas, is strong and efficient as he pitches into the seventh inning. | | | | | Cooper Flagg, the 2024 Gatorade Player of the Year who will play at Duke next year, thrilled the crowd in the second quarter with a step-back 3-pointer. A few plays later on the defensive end, Flagg swatted a layup 25 feet the other way into the first row. | | | | | The next generation of receivers, led by Kobe Hudson and Xavier Townsend, is already in place at UCF. The pair headlines a unit with Trent Whittemore, Jarrad Baker, Steve Martin, Chauncey Magwood and Tyree Patterson. | | | | | Americans were in sports bars from coast to coast on Monday night, eyes glued to TVs and even movie screens. This wasn't "Monday Night Football." This was Monday Night women's basketball. Caitlin Clark and Iowa topped Angel Reese and LSU. Paige Bueckers and UConn topped JuJu Watkins and USC. | | | | | Miami will bring back the veteran lineman who was solid in eight starts in 2023. | | | | | Joe Gibbs probably expects the organizational meeting of his four NASCAR Cup Series teams to be somewhat challenging this week, even after a weekend sweep at Richmond Raceway. The owner had a humbled, very fortunate and grateful winner at Richmond Raceway, and a disappointed, well-respected and normally very affable driver who dominated the race but fell victim to late circumstances that left him, at least temporarily, bitter. Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin went from third to first on pit road when a late caution sent everyone to their pits for an overtime two-lap sprint, and teammate Martin Truex Jr. went from almost certain victory to a fourth-place finish. | | | | | South Florida sports has too many stories of athletes dying across the years, from the Miami Marlins' Jose Fernandez in 2016 to the Dolphins losing three players in offseasons in the 1980s, David Overstreet, Larry Gordon and Rusty Chambers. | | | |
