GLF–ON THE FRINGE-MCILROY
The chase is over for Rory McIlroy. He hasn’t stopped running
SUMMARY: Rory McIlroy says he has spent 18 years chasing something. He finally got the grand prize this year at the Masters to complete the Grand Slam. McIlroy grew tired of being asked what his next big mountain would be. He realized that it really doesn’t matter. He simply wants to enjoy what he has achieved and play good golf and see where it leads. But there’s always something out there in golf. He is two Race to Dubai titles from catching Colin Montgomerie, who is two majors from catching Harry Vardon for most by a European. He’s not done running, just chasing.

SPORTS BETTING SCANDALS-EXPLAINER
What are prop bets, and why can’t sports leagues escape them?
SUMMARY: Major League Baseball and its affiliated sportsbooks offered a fast reaction Monday to the latest on a growing list of sports betting scandals. They capped bets on individual pitches at $200 and excluding them from parlays to keep those prop bets from jeopardizing the integrity of the sport. That decision came a day after Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were indicted on charges they took bribes from sports bettors to purposely throw certain types of pitches that would pay off bets. Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was also arrested for allegedly providing inside information to gamblers. Despite these incidents, prop bets remain lucrative for leagues and sportsbooks.

BKN–MAVERICKS-HARRISON FIRED
Mavericks fire GM Nico Harrison 9 months after widely panned Luka Doncic trade
SUMMARY: The Dallas Mavericks have fired general manager Nico Harrison. The move is an admission nine months later that the widely criticized trade of Luka Doncic backfired on the franchise. The decision comes a day after Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont attended a 116-114 loss to Milwaukee during which fans again chanted “fire Nico.” It’s been a familiar scene since the blockbuster deal that brought Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers and angered the Dallas fanbase. Harrison was in his fourth season and engineered three trades that helped Dallas on two deep playoff runs. The ill-fated Doncic deal and a slow start to the first full season without the young superstar led to a stunning downfall.

SUMMARY: Rory McIlroy has already won the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, a home Irish Open and an away Ryder Cup.
