It’s Friday and you know what that means!

Welcome to the weekend, ladies and gentlemen! After a thrilling NCAA tournament, the final was kind of a dud, with Baylor blowing out Gonzaga. While having to battle UCLA two days prior probably didn’t help Gonzaga much, you can’t underscore just how good that Baylor team was. That game also shows just how tough it is to go undefeated in college basketball today – there’s a reason nobody’s done it in 45 years.

Now, we turn our attention to The Masters. As I write this, defending champion Dustin Johnson is battling to make the cut. The leaderboard is tight at the top – nobody’s running away with the tournament, which should make for a fun weekend of golf.

What happened this week

We looked at the 10 best moments in the history of The Masters.
