Cink captures his 7th career victory, and first since 2009. Stewart had an average start to the week, shooting a 67, 70 in the opening rounds. But over the weekend, Cink played really good golf. He shoots 65 on Saturday and Sunday to win by 2 shots over Henry Higgs. His game tee to green was fantastic, and ranked 3rd in strokes gained in that category.

This week was forgettable, to tell you the truth. Week 1 in the NFL overshadowed the TOUR, as well as the anticipation for next week. The US Open at Winged Foot. So get ready for the year’s first major.

I grew up in southern New Hampshire, where I first fell in love with the game of golf. I started by just going out and messing around with my buddies and focusing purely on having a good time! I never took golf seriously until I moved down to Tampa, FL to attend the University of South Florida. Go Bulls! At the start of my junior year I got a job working as a cart boy at a local private country club. This is when I started to focus on golf becoming my career. During the fall of my senior year, I turned from a 14 handicap, to a 2. I passed the PAT scoring test my first try and haven't looked back.
