Cink’s 64 good for 1st-round Charles Schwab lead

Cink’s 64 good for 1st-round Charles Schwab lead

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Stewart Cink, aided by a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th, shot a 6-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

Cink used a 7-iron on the 184-yard 16th and saw the ball bounce once before disappearing into the cup for his first career ace on the PGA Tour Champions.

“There is some good karma out there; the hole-in-one definitely came at a good time,” said Cink, who had seven birdies and a lone bogey on the TPC Scottsdale Champions Course. “I probably needed that one.”

Cink is a two-time winner this season and has four top-10 finishes in seven starts since turning 50 on May 21 and becoming eligible for the PGA Tour Champions.

‘History as our guide’: How new-look Colonial Country Club returned to its roots

Colonial Country Club’s recent renovation returned the historic course to its roots by embracing Gil Hanse’s philosophy of “history as our guide.” The redesign restored the course’s original character, influenced by Donald Ross’s legacy. Hanse enhanced the course’s strategic challenges while preserving its historical charm. Bunkers were reshaped and re-positioned, greens were expanded and re-contoured, and fairways were strategically narrowed or widened to evoke Ross’s original vision and create a more enjoyable and challenging playing experience.
