South Africa's Ernie Els decided to see if the PGA Tour's only team event could be a useful scouting tool for the Presidents Cup

Cincinnati isn't exactly flush with sports heroes. The closest thing they have, Pete Rose, is blacklisted for the rest of eternity, and the rest of the list is populated by lovable but ultimately underwhelming cult favorites like Boomer and Ickey and Joey. Yasiel Puig has been in town for a veritable cup of coffee skyline chili, but he already looks well on his way to legend status after not only attempting to fight the entire city of Pittsburgh earlier this month, but then wearing a shirt of the brawl's most indelible image to BP on Tuesday. Reds fans, have you ever seen something so beautiful?

Best of all, however, you don't have to be Puig to don this incredible moment in Cincy sports hi..

While the concept was heralded upon its announcement last year, its debut and execution were anything but. Rather than emerge from a tunnel like a baseball closer or WWE wrestler, the golfers were already on the tee, and instead of a raucous crowd being electrified by the tunes blaring from the speakers, the fans…well, acted like golf fans:
Papelbon running into Fenway, this was not.
And then there were the songs selections. If our numbers are correct, half the field picked “Enter Sandman” or “Shipping up to Boston,” and most of the others were a mix of apathy and unoriginality. From our Shane Ryan last spring:
Charley Hoffman, Nick Watney, Brendan Steele and Jamie Lovemark all picked Tupac’s “California ..

As is the case every NBA postseason, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry seems to be locked in, save for one poor 1-for-9 three-point shooting performance in Game 4, which the Dubs still won 113-105. Prior to that, Chef Curry was 17-for-29 in the series, averaging just under 30 points per game. Much like a PGA Tour pro, Curry got his one bad round out of the way on Sunday, and we fully expect him to bounce back Wednesday night.

Speaking of golf, Curry's mind was on his real favorite sport during a media scrum on Tuesday, the day before a potential series-clinching Game 5 at home against the L.A. Clippers. A reporter asked the point guard about his habit of following the ball with his eyes after he shoots it. Naturally, Curry compared it to putting:

If you haven't been DVRing every episode to watch on 30-40 minute delay during dinner like, um, some people have been, on Wednesday night Holzhauer—who has already broken the single-game Jeopardy! record TWICE—crossed the $1-million-dollar mark with another remarkable $118,816-dollar display.

We've seen NBA stars clear out the court for game-winning attempts countless times, but we've never seen anything quite like this. Tied at 115 in Game 5 of an opening-round playoff game against the Thunder, Lillard dribbled down the clock from just inside half court before launching a shot over the outstretched hand of potential NBA Defensive Player of the Year Paul George. And while the shot was amazing enough, the reaction—a wave goodbye to the vanquished Thunder—may have been even better. Check it out:
