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.
