Michael Marot, Associated Press | Updated May 9 - 5:51 p.m. | Save Story
Caitlin Clark walked into her new home arena with No. 22 shirts and jerseys peppered from floor to ceiling. A late-arriving but still louder-than-usual crowd roared during her first official introduction to Fever fans on Thursday night. And when the former Iowa star made the layup for her first basket with 7:00 left in the first quarter, the applause grew. It was even louder when she completed a three-point play a few minutes later. Clark spent Wednesday working out with her Indiana Fever teammates inside an empty Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It's a moment Fever fans have dreaming about since they won the lottery in December and that only became reality in mid-April.

Rory McIlroy hoped that his victory with Shane Lowry two weeks ago in the Zurich Classic team event would serve as a springboard for the remainder of the season. He's off to a good start. McIlroy positioned himself for a run at a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship title Thursday, opening with a 4-under 67 that left him three shots behind leader Xander Schauffele. Collin Morikawa and Alex Noren also shot 67, and Justin Thomas topped the group at 68. Quail Hollow is one of McIlroy's favorite courses, and with good reason after victories in 2010, '15 and '21.

The Associated Press | Posted May 9 - 5:28 p.m. | Save Story
The New Orleans Saints have signed their first-round draft choice, tackle Taliese Fuaga, to a four-year deal. The club announced the agreement a day before Friday's opening of the Saints' three-day rookie camp. The 6-foot-6, 324-pound Fuaga's prospects for playing are high because Andrus Peat left in free agency after finishing last season as one of New Orleans' starting tackles. Meanwhile starting right tackle Ryan Ramczyk's ability to return to form following offseason knee surgery is uncertain. Fuaga started all 12 games at right tackle in 2023 for Oregon State and he was selected first-team All-Pac-12 last season. Fuaga was drafted 14th overall and was the fourth offensive tackle drafted.

In her winning streak, Korda has never trailed by more than eight strokes after the opening round. The 25-year-old is six back heading into the second round at the Upper Montclair Country Club.
