Sunday's win was shared equally by the Cink family, with his son Reagan serving as his caddie. It was a feel-good moment on multiple levels for the Cinks and a great way to open the new PGA Tour season:
Cink had a dominant weekend, shooting a 65 on Saturday as well. He had just one slip-up on Sunday, with a bogey No. 17. He more than made up for it, however, with eight birdies.
He finished the day with an average driving distance of 324 yards, a driving accuracy of 78.6 percent and 72.2 percent of greens hit in regulation, per PGATour.com.
As for the event's other big names, Phil Mickelson (-10), Sergio Garcia (-3 and cut) and Jordan Spieth (-1 and cut) all finished well off the lead.
Up next on the schedule is a big one—the U.S. Open kicks off Thursday.
