Mad Dash: Scuba diver retrieves Rory McIlroy's 3-iron

Dustin Johnson won the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral over the weekend, a huge moment for a player on the comeback trail. Amusingly, though, it was Rory McIlroy hurling his 3-iron into a lake that wound up the buzziest moment from the tournament. Maybe the hype around the club tossing would have died down after the incidient itself if nothing else happened, but that was before Donald Trump sent a scuba diver into the drink to retrieve the discarded club. Trump then presented the club to a stunned McIlroy, who said he'd return it after the tournament to be put on permanent display at the course. We suspect the whole episode and the attention surrounding it will keep McIlroy from tossing any club ever again.

The Ohio State football team is pretty popular in Columbus right now. But are the Buckeyes popular enough to get away with a dance performance in front of thousands watching the basketball team take on Wisconsin? The jury's still out. But Ezekiel Elliott has a message for everyone tweeting him about the dance routine.
