Despite carrying a five-shot lead into the final round of the RBC Heritage, Stewart Cink had two menacing statistical trends weighing on his 47-year-old body come Sunday:
• Just once since 2012 had a 54-hole leader at Hilton Head gone on to win the title (Webb Simpson accomplishing the feat a year ago).
• Just twice in the previous 12 times that Cink had held the 54-hole lead in a PGA Tour event had he managed to win the title.
In the end, five shots was enough to help Cink regress to the mean on both accounts. A closing one-under 70 was steady if not spectacular, which was all that was needed for the 25-year-old tour veteran to grab his eighth career tour title and win at Harbour Town Golf Links for the third time (2000 and 2004).
As Cink pulled out the victory, he earned the $1.278 million winner’s check. That turns out to be the biggest paycheck Cink has ever cashed on the PGA Tour (his 2009 Open Championship win earned him $1,221,005).
The overall prize money payout for this week at Hilton Head was $7.1 million. Here are payouts for each of the 65 golfers who made the cut this week. We’ll update this to list specific names and how much money they earned shortly..
