Cink Ends Four Year Drought

Hello. Congrats to Stewart Cink for winning the Travelers Championship on Sunday. It's his first win since 2004.
Many people have called this the first win of the 'post Tiger era'. That is not the case. Tiger would not have played in this event if he were healthy. The real post Tiger era starts at the British Open.
So will players like Cink start winning in bunches? Hard to say. In some ways there may be more pressure on them, because the expectations are higher. Earlier this year Tiger creamed Cink in the WGC Match Play. If Cink were playing Trevor Immelman, does he feel more or less pressure in a supposedly more even match?
The opportunity is there for the taking. And hopefully the focus will be on the players who are playing, and not on the ones who aren't. And let's not talk about an asterisk, or have a Tiger knee cam, or press around Windermere Florida.
Let's just see how good these guys really are. And if it turns out they're not that good (which could happen), then let's see if they get any better.

Regards,
Steve
