Stewart Cink closed with a 66 to claim his third win in five starts on PGA TOUR Champions at an event raising over $25 million for Hoag's community programs.
- On Sunday, Stewart Cink won the Hoag Classic at Newport Beach Country Club, finishing 19-under par with a four-stroke victory. Cink closed with a final-round 66 to capture his sixth PGA TOUR Champions title.
