HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Stewart Cink shot a steady and stress-free 1-under-par 70 on Sunday, capping a dominant four days in the RBC Heritage as he won the PGA Tour’s event at Harbour Town Golf Links for the third time.

The 47-year-old Alabama native and former Georgia Tech golfer finished at 19-under 265, four strokes ahead of Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo (68) and Harold Varner III (66), a 30-year-old American who posted his highest finish on the PGA Tour.

Cink hugged his son and caddie, Reagan, after his closing par on the 18th green. Then he, wife Lisa and their other son, Connor, all had their arms around each other to celebrate a win that included Cink setting the tournament’s 36- and 54-hole scoring records.

“I don’t even know if I have the words,” said Cink, who has eight PGA Tour victories and won the 2009 British Open.

He won for the second time this season – only he and Bryson DeChambeau have done that – and continued his resurgence on the PGA Tour at a time when many pros his age are looking ahead to the PGA Tour Champions.
