BASKETBALL

Caitlin Clark has been invited to participate in the USA Basketball national team training camp during the Final Four in Cleveland, contingent on Iowa’s season being over.

The NCAA’s Division I all-time scoring leader has earned three gold medals with USA Basketball junior teams, most recently as a member of the 2021 under-19 squad.

Clark, the likely No. 1 draft pick in the WNBA draft on April 15 by the Indiana Fever, has been a ratings boon for college basketball.

Nearly 5 million people watched Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes second-round game against West Virginia on Saturday.

Five-time Olympic champion Diana Taurasi is one of nine former Olympians who will participate in the camp training camp from April 3-5.

GOLF

Scottie Scheffler is off to a solid start in his bid for a third straight PGA Tour victory.

The world’s No. 1 player shot a 65 in the Houston Open and trails Taylor Moore and Wilson Furr by one shot at Memorial Park. Scheffler now has 28 consecutive rounds under par to start the year.

Moore made bogey on his first hole and then had an eagle and five birdies for a 64. Pierceson and Parker Coody became the first twins to play with each other on the PGA Tour.
