HOYLAKE, England – At 50 years young, Stewart Cink knows there’s no correlation between a scorecard and a date of birth.
“I just have to look back a few years to Phil Mickelson winning the PGA. I think that was probably a more difficult course than this,” Cink said of Mickelson’s victory at the 2021 PGA Championship at 50 years old. “Watching him win it didn't really surprise anybody. He's been so good for so long.”
He could also revisit his own major moment at the 2009 Open Championship when he beat then-59-year-old Tom Watson in extra holes at Turnberry.
