Cink ensures victory at Travelers

Stewart Cink had a reputation as a good golfer who just couldn’t finish off a tournament.

His final-round collapse in March in the PODS Championship left him with just one victory in the nine career events he led going into the last day.

On Sunday at Cromwell, Conn., he put that behind him, holding off Tommy Armour III and defending champion Hunter Mahan to win the Travelers Championship by a stroke.

Cink, also the 1997 winner at TPC River Highlands, shot a 3-under 67 – following rounds of 66, 64 and 65 – to finish at 18-under 262 for his first victory since 2004.

Armour (65) and Mahan (65) tied for second.

LPGA

At Rochester, N.Y., Eun-Hee Ji won the Wegmans LPGA for her first LPGA Tour title, rallying to beat Suzann Pettersen by two strokes.

The South Korean shot a 5-under 67 to finish at 16-under 272 on the tricky Locust Hill course. A 22-year-old in her second year on the tour, Ji finished second to Pettersen in South Korea in October in the Kolon Championship.

Pettersen shot a 72 and surrendered a three-stroke lead on a sunny, 75-degree day. Ji got in front for the first time with a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 15, where Pettersen missed a 5-footer for par.

Tracy Hanson of Rathdrum shot a 72 and finished 2-over.

Champions Tour

At Concord, Mass., Jeff Sluman won the Bank of America Championship for his first Champions Tour title, finishing off an 8-under 64 with a 34-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole for a two-stroke victory over Loren Roberts.

Sluman birdied three of the last four holes and finished at 17-under 199 total. The 64 was the best final round by a winner on the tour this year.

Roberts shot a 67.
