A green jacket, a fat pay cheque and a restored reputation aren’t the only rewards Tiger Woods will receive after winning his fifth Masters, capping one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. He’ll also be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, says President Donald Trump. ‘‘Spoke to Tiger Woods to congratulate him on the great victory he had,’’ Trump tweeted, and ‘‘to inform him that because of his incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE, I will be presenting him with the PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM!’’

I just thought it was pre-destined for him to win.’’ Don’t count the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic out of the national netball premiership finals race.

The Magic remain in fourth place on 12 points with five round games left and are hot on the heels of the Stars on 16 points, who have lost their past three matches.
