It's been a while since Stewart Cink won on the PGA Tour, but approach shots like the one he hit on the fifth hole Saturday at the St. Jude Classic could certainly help end the drought.
Cink pulled his tee shot at the par-4 hole into the deep rough on the left, but recovered with an amazing second shot that led to a 7-foot birdie putt.
The 44-year-old's last win came at the 2009 Open Championship at Turnberry, where he beat Tom Watson in a playoff for his first major title.
