Cink Triumphs At Travelers

Stewart Cink shot a three-under 67 to win the Travelers Championship on Sunday, 11 years after he claimed his first PGA Tour title at the event.

Cink got up-and-down for par on the 18th hole to squeeze out a one-shot victory over Tommy Armour III and 2007 champion Hunter Mahan. It was the fifth PGA Tour title of his career and first since he won twice in 2004.

Stu's victory followed a good, but winless, season that saw him post six top-10 finishes, including two runner-ups and a tie for third place at the Masters.

For the man fro Florence Alabama, it was his first win since the 2004 NEC Invitational, a lucrative World Golf Championships event. He moved from seventh place on the FedEx Cup points list to third behind Woods and Mickelson.

But with Woods sidelined for the rest of the season following his U.S. Open win, Cink is, for all intents and purposes, second on the list to Mickelson.
