PGA ROCKET CLASSIC – Detroit, MI
Aldrich Potgieter defeated Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk in extra holes Sunday at Detroit Golf Club for his first win on the PGA Tour. It took more than an hour of playoff golf to decide the winner, taking five extra holes until Potgieter, in his 20th start on Tour, poured in a 17-foot, 10-inch putt on the par-3 15th. You may remember Potgeiter was amongst those getting his tour card last year following the Korn Ferry Tour Championship at the Pete Dye course in French Lick.

James Harden is returning to the Clippers next season, but with a new two-year, $81.5 million contract. And another time that he signs and contract and I shake my head in disbelief.
A familiar playoff foe for the Pacers, Bobby Portis is signing a new three-year, $44 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
