Stewart Cink strolls to his third RBC Heritage victory

Stewart Cink is the second two-time winner on the PGA Tour this super season. He’s also now a three-time winner of the RBC Heritage.

Cink cruised to the title on Sunday with a boring scorecard: a birdie on 5, a bogey on 12 and a birdie on 17 sprinkled amongst a whole bunch of pars. His final-round 70 was more than enough to hold off the field, with Emiliano Grillo and Harold Varner III getting within three shots but no closer at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, on Sunday.

Cink, 47, finished at 19 under to win by four. He also won the event in 2000 and 2004 and joins Davis Love III and Hale Irwin as three-time winners of the tournament. Cink also won the Tour’s season-opening Safeway Open in Napa, California, and joins Bryson DeChambeau as a multiple winner on Tour. Cink’s two wins this season have come after a 12-year winless stretch.

This was also the second win for Cink with his son Reagan on the bag.

Varner opened and closed his week at Harbour Town by shooting a 66. He finished 17 under to claim a tie for second with Grillo. For Varner, it’s the best finish of his Tour career. His previous best was a tie for third at the 2019 Northern Trust.

Grillo has one Tour victory, the 2016 Frys.com Open. Maverick McNealy, Corey Conners and Matt Fitzpatrick finished tied for fourth at 13 under.

Up next is the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
