ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – Robert Streb was too young at age 33 to have look back at his only PGA Tour victory six years ago instead of looking ahead to what might be his next one.
That wasn't the case for Stewart Cink. He was three years away from joining the 50-and-older set on the PGA Tour Champions, and 11 years removed from his last victory in 2009 at Turnberry in the British Open.Both are part of a remarkable trend during this fall portion of the new PGA Tour season.
Cink was No. 319 in the world when he won the season opener in the Safeway Open. Streb was at No. 380 when he won last week in the RSM Classic.
They are among five players in nine tournaments this season who were outside the top 300 in the world when they won. That doesn't.
