Cink stays strong to clinch win

PGA Tour veteran Stewart Cink finished four shots clear in South Carolina on Sunday to comfortably clinch his third RBC Heritage title.

The 47-year-old, who previously won at Hilton Head in 2000 and 2004, went into the final round with a five-stroke lead on the back of a 54-hole record of 18-under 195.

The American held his nerve to ease to his eighth tour victory with a score of one-under 70.

Cink said: “It was just a really good, solid week. It was pretty spectacular the first two days, it was like I could do no wrong.

“Then the weekend was just a bunch of solid hitting, nothing exciting, but enough.”

Cink’s compatriot Harold Varner III and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo carded a 66 and 68 respectively to finish tied for second.
