Scottish golfer Russell Knox rolled in almost-identical birdie putts from around 40 feet on the 72nd hole and the first playoff hole to win the Irish Open on Sunday. After Knox made birdie on No. 18 to set the clubhouse target at 14-under par, Ryan Fox of New Zealand missed an 8-foot birdie putt that would have won him the Rolex Series event. Fox failed to match the birdie, his putt agonizingly lipping out, and Knox put his hands to his face.
This is the time of year when many will rabidly refresh their news feeds, hunting morsels of information regarding acquisitions their favorite team could make in advance of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.

We’re going to assume nobody will be calling for a Mickelson DQ on this one, as these types of mistakes even happen to the best. It’s especially noteworthy that Lefty apparently called the penalty on himself. With that penalty, Mickelson was given a double bogey rather than par on the hole.

The Warriors big man made a big block in the closing minutes of Friday night’s summer league win over the Clippers. After the swat, cameras caught Bell looking toward the crowd with a call-me gesture — and at one couple in particular. Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, a star immediately in his first year last season, was sitting with his girlfriend, Déja Lighty, taking in the game. Bell apparently was talking with them, the implication being he was making a public move on Mitchell’s girlfriend. Bold! According to those involved, though, this isn’t what exactly transpired — and
