It would be even longer before Cink would triumph again at any tournament. Then, he improbably won twice during the 2020-21 PGA Tour season, first at the Safeway Open, with his 23-year-old son Reagan on the bag, then again seven months later in the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head.
The victories were the seventh and eighth of what has been an impressive career that has also included reaching as high as No. 5 in the world ranking, along with nine combined appearances in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. They have also injected new life into the 48-year-old, who still has “more in the tank”.
Cink sat down with Golf Monthly to discuss winning again, his reflections on the 2009 Open and why he thinks he has been overlooked when it comes to future Ryder Cup captains for the American team.
Your son, Reagan, is now your full-time caddie. What did he show you that proved he would be the right man for the job?

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?
The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
