This is incredible — every piece of mail in the UK from April 15-17 has been stamped with a special congratulatory message for Rory. (H/T @lmwilliamson7)

Apparently, Rory has donated the whole of his Masters prize money ($4.2m/£3.1m) to Mencap, a Northern Island charity which supports thousands of people with a learning disability.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Grainne Close, Director of Mencap Northern Ireland, has clarified that while Rory McIlroy has long been a generous supporter of the organization, rumors that he donated all of his recent tournament winnings are not true x.com/Mencap_NI/stat…

Think @justinprose99 represents so many things that Rory does. He works his butt off in pursuit of the dream. Complete and utter dedication to the sport. But on top of that, what a magnanimous man in defeat and an amazing classy ambassador for our sport. His day will come again I hope. @fooch97 in a similar vein, classy at the end after an incredible ten birdie final round. He said his man has another major in him, he’s not wrong and the margins are so fine with such incredible athletes. As people, they all win for me. Pure class. 👌🏼

🚨NEW: The Trump Administration has removed Navajo Code Talkers from government websites as a part of its anti-DEI purge. These American patriots helped win World War II and save countless lives. These heroes deserve to be honored and respected - not erased.

This is veteran Thomas Begay, one of the last two living Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. The Trump Administration is removing Navajo Code Talkers from military websites, claiming it is “DEI.” RETWEET if you stand with Begay against Donald Trump!

This is Colonel Nicole Malachowski. A 21-year veteran of the Air Force, she is the first woman to fly with the Thunderbirds and flew 26 missions in Iraq. Trump has removed all mention of her from federal websites. RETWEET if you stand with @RealMalachowski against Trump!

The Marine Band invited young musicians of color to perform—until Trump’s executive order shut it down. But they refused to be silenced. With military band veterans stepping in, they played for a nation that needed to hear them. 🎥: @60Minutes

Want to know what a nice person Lydia Ko is? In Jan. 2014 I was in her group for the first Pro-Am she played as an @LPGA member. A couple days later I got this note. She was 16 at the time. A special person!

‡ Derby finish follow-up and new video! First, thanks to a kind fan, I have attached a good quality head-on video of the incident. While most readers understood my previous post, and I don't think that I could have been much more clear, for the benefit of those who may still be confused: I am not arguing that the order of finish should necessarily have been changed. I am arguing that given the obvious bumping between the second and third-place finishers, and Gaffalione's push, coupled with the close photo finish, it was inexcusable for the Stewards not to have minimally posted an Inquiry. I am also arguing that it is very poor form for Churchill Downs to refuse to release the head-on video, and that it suggests that they are aware of the controversy that it could fuel, which further supports the view that there should have been an Inquiry. My guess is that if there had been an Inquiry, the Stewards would likely have arrived at the conclusion that there was mutual interference, and that Gaffalione's push was acceptable for reasons of safety. But while those may have been a reasonable conclusions, there remains no legitimate excuse for the Stewards' failure to post an Inquiry.

How is THIS okay? @ChurchillDowns as an owner and breeder, I ask do you even care if the horses or riders get hurt? I want to apologize to the Japanese. Their horse deserved so much better than this. Shame on Tyler Gaffalione for thinking it’s okay to ride like this. Dirty.
