- NCAA Lisa Leslie's message to Caitlin Clark puts more pressure on her and gives her no choice in her future
As the sports world reels from Caitlin Clark's mesmerizing performances in the NCAA Tournament, the spotlight momentarily shifts to Augusta National, where the much-anticipated Masters Tournament is unfolding. Like many sports enthusiasts, Clark is engrossed in the ongoing golfing spectacle, eagerly following the fortunes of the leading contenders, including the defending champion Scottie Scheffler.
Clark, set to be the shining star at the WNBA Draft, took to social media to share her excitement, notably liking a tweet from CBS' Kyle Porter which humorously suggested that Scheffler's biggest hurdle to claiming back-to-back Masters titles might just be his wife, Meredith Scheffler. Meredith, currently pregnant, could potentially influence the tournament's outcome, as Scheffler has vowed to leave immediately should she go into labor.
The tweet reflected a light-hearted view on what is a pivotal weekend for Scheffler, who seeks to cement his status as the world's top golfer with another major victory. The potential familial twist adds an extra layer of drama to what is already a high-stakes tournament.
The countdown to the WNBA Draft Day begins
Meanwhile, Clark is enjoying a brief respite from her basketball commitments, soaking in the Masters' action. However, her break will be short-lived. On Monday, she is expected to be the number one pick in the WNBA Draft, a testament to her stellar collegiate career and her potential to be a game-changer at the professional level.
The Indiana Fever, who hold the first pick, are rumored to be keen on selecting Clark, whom many consider a generational talent. This selection would not only be a significant milestone in Clark's career but also a pivotal moment for the Fever as they look to rebuild their squad.
