“I just want to know why this happened to my brother.” Gerald McClellan fought Nigel Benn in London 30 years ago this Tuesday. He was paid $67,000 and left brain damaged and blind. I went to Freeport, Illinois to meet him. Interview: mol.im/a/14425401 via @MailSport

@riathalsam No mention for Joe Calzaghe. 10 years as a world champion. Never lost a single fight undisputed world champion. Beat genuine pound for greats and never ducked anyone.

Interesting debate this one and not assisted by the kind of sleep deprivation that means leaving aside Joe Root from a list of 15. I’m reviewing my processes and will do better next time.

Who's the greatest UK sportsperson of the 21st century? @riathalsam was at Augusta National at the weekend and has @McIlroyRory at number two. Now @ianherbs @JonathanMcEvoy7 and I have had a go at our top five, too dailymail.co.uk/sport/otherspo…

"I told him you have a steel will. You do not break. You are strong." On Saturday evening, after losing his lead and swing, Rory McIlroy got in touch with Dr Bob Rotella, his mind guru. I caught up with him. Read: mol.im/a/15730993

Rory McIlroy win the Masters again. Sublime. But if there ever comes a point that he stops collecting green jackets, he should be fitted for one that fastens at the back. Report from the exceptional madness of Augusta: mol.im/a/15726783

'There’s no ego in this book. It’s what happened to a man. It’s the year that changed my life. So celebrate it – we’re living free now.’ Spent some time with Arsenal legend Tony Adams, talking Tiger Woods, addiction, recovery, the legacy left by parents dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

Rory McIlroy. From six clear to dead even with Cameron Young going to the final round. We should have been above ruling out crazy scenarios with this guy. Report from Augusta: mol.im/a/15725571 via @MailSport

A few thoughts on Jon Rahm, who arrived as favourite and has done so little across three rounds that you wonder if his peak years will pass him by. Report from Augusta: mol.im/a/15725393 via @MailSport

This Masters leaderboard is getting silly again. Young, Li and Lowry within three of McIlroy, Scheffler ambling at great pace to five back. McIlroy skull-chasing with his driver. Nuts.

Four pages in today’s edition, expertly designed by @tmooro. Grangeclare West is the tip, Final Orders is a brilliant story but the most important runner is the 35th for @AlderHey @SteveRyder13 fancies Jagwar (strong claims), @chrisbaker1984 likes Gerri Colombe. Enjoy the day

Rory McIlroy. 65. Six-shot lead. Utterly ludicrous exhibition of inhibition-free golf. Only thing that might stop him is a reprimand from the green jackets for making a mockery of their course. Report from Augusta: mol.im/a/15723281 via @MailSport

A year in a green jacket has clearly done nothing to cure Rory McIlroy - his propensity for drama here has survived the transition from chaser to champion. Report from his 67, in which he missed two-thirds of fairways and repeatedly found a way: mol.im/a/15718931

For anyone who followed my Bob MacIntyre tip, he just wrapped up an 80. To quote the man himself today, "jesus f***".
