Hooks & Cuts: Golf part of major sports weekend

With the Masters behind us, golf's stars are in full bloom and hopefully just in time for a big weekend in sports.

• On a weekend featuring Pacquiao vs. Mayweather, LeBron and likely D Rose in the NBA playoffs, and American Pharoah and Dortmund at the Kentucky Derby, golf could use Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth in Match Play primetime.

Dustin Johnson is 50 shades of cool.
