Cink started the final round in a four-way tie for second, a shot back of Keith Horne, but in the final round, Cink went on a tear on his first nine, with an eagle on No.
7 and back-to-back birdies on Nos. 8 and 9. That got him to 15 under and put him up by two.
Third round: Wait! Who's that leading the Senior PGA heading into the final round? Cink later birdied Nos.
11, 12 and 14 to build a five-shot lead. After Ben Crane birdied the 15th, Cink made birdie on the par-5 17th to make it a five-shot lead once again. Cink went on to par the last to set the course record with a Sunday 63.
