Five sports stories you may have missed:
1. From court to course for Curry
NBA superstar Stephen Curry put the ball in the bucket enough to finish with 36 points Monday night in Golden State's 102-92 win over the Hawks.
Then on Tuesday, he marked something off his bucket list when he played a round of golf at storied Augusta National, the site of the Masters.
Curry, who plays to about a 2 handicap, made a 10-footer for birdie on his opening hole but would not disclose the score for his round.
"I'd never been there before, so it was a real treat," Curry said Wednesday. "I'm not going to tell you what I shot, but that was a bucket-list kind of day. I'm a golf fanatic, so to say I played at Augusta is pretty cool."
The round was a championship reward from Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who promised Curry and Andre Iguodala that if Golden State won the title last season he would use his connections and get them on the storied course.
"One of my best friends is a member at Augusta and he's taken me there a couple times," Kerr said.
2. Vols player says he was punched for helping woman
An amended complaint filed Wednesday in a Title IX lawsuit against Tennessee states a woman called 911 from former Volunteers receiver Drae Bowles' car to report a rape in the early morning hours of Nov. 16, 2014.
The complaint also states that Bowles suffered a bloody lip when he was punched in the mouth by teammate Curt Maggitt later that day and was confronted by teammates Geraldo Orta and Marlin Lane the following day.
3. Trump's Tweet
Earlier this week, Trump posted a tweet that said: "I hear the Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!" The reference was to a reported campaign contribution made by Ricketts' mother, Marlene, to an anti-Trump PAC.
4. Pitcher misses Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
The former Philadelphia Phillies star said he and his wife hoped to attend the 2015 New York City lingerie show and bought three VIP packages from Cornucopia Events.
5. Tiger Woods still swinging
The 13-second video Woods posted on Twitter shows him dressed in shorts and golf shoes, and he takes a smooth swing on a golf simulator.
"Progressing nicely," Woods wrote.
