UNDATED (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins has been killed in an auto accident in Florida. Haskins' agent, Cedric Saunders, told ESPN about the quarterback's death, and the Steelers released a statement extending their condolences.

The former Ohio State star was 1-5 in six starts the next season for the team, then was released. He was signed by Pittsburgh, but did not play in the 2021 season. Haskins appeared to be working in South Florida this week with several teammates. He was expected to compete with Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky for a spot.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The third round of the Masters is underway on a sunny but chilly morning at Augusta National. The temperature was in the low 50′s when play began.

He'll play with Charl Schwartzel, who starts the day tied for second with Shane Lowry and Hideki Matsuyama. Tiger Woods starts nine shots back. He tees off at 1 p.m.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —The Masters winner gets a gold medal, a green jacket, a lifetime invitation back to Augusta National and a sterling silver trophy. And this year, more money than anyone has ever won at the Masters. Augusta National announced today that the winner of this year's tournament gets $2.7 million out of a total purse of $15 million. Both are tournament records. It's about a 30% increase over last year, when Hideki Matsuyama got $2.07 million from a purse of $11.5 million. In terms of total dollars, it's by far the biggest one-year increase in Masters history.
