Stewart Ernest Cink (born May 21, 1973) is an American professional golfer. He spent 27 weeks in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings in 2004-05.[1]
Cink was born in Huntsville, Alabama and grew up in Florence. He attended Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where he played golf for the Yellow Jackets, and turned professional in 1995. After winning the Mexican Open and three events on the Nike Tour (now the Nationwide Tour) in 1996, Cink joined the PGA Tour in 1997 and won the Canon Greater Hartford Open in his rookie season. Cink performed consistently on the Tour over the next few years, picking up another win at the 2000 MCI Classic. 2004 was his career year to date, with a fifth-place finish on the money list and wins at the MCI Heritage and at the WGC-NEC Invitational, which is one of the World Golf Championships events and was the most prestigious win of his career. He also has two sons, Connor and Reagan, and a wife, Lisa.
On February 24, 2008, Cink was the runner-up in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship played in Marana, Arizona, falling 8 & 7 in the 36-hole final to top-ranked Tiger Woods.
