Stewart Cink sets US PGA Record

[SportsYoYo]

The top 11 golfers after round 3 of the MCI Heritage fired a cumulative +9, to set up Stewart Cink to charge all the way back from 22nd and 9 shots off the lead, to tie for the win. Cink's come from behind playoff win is a new US record.

Ted Purdy held a 4 shot going into Sunday's final round, but shot a 2 over 73, to swing the door wide open for now 3 time PGA Tour winner, Stewart Cink.

Cink finished off Purdy in the 2004 season's longest playoff of 5 holes. Purdy narrowly escaped losing the playoff the first time they played 16. His drive was headed OB but luckily hit a marshall's cart to stay in bounds. The 2nd time they played 16, Purdy made a nice par save but it wasn't enough as Stewart Cink birdied from the waste area to secure his 3rd PGA Tour win.

Is that the same Ted Purdy that Railbird was using to get free money from the books? The one with the 4 stroke lead and who was only PK to win the tourney after the 3rd round?

Hmmmm, let's see. $10 at 40-1 = $400.00

$500 at pk = -$550.00

Not bad Rail, only -$150.00 on the day. Atta boy!

Another record for Stewart

• Before he "bludgeoned" (his words) the Harbour Town Golf Links the last two days to the tune of 63-63 (16 under), the previous 36-hole record here was held by Jack Nicklaus (1975) and Phil Mickelson ('02), who were three shots worsethan Cink in 2021.
