GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) — Stewart Cink won The Ally Challenge on Sunday for his first PGA Tour Champions title, closing with a 6-under 66 for a four-stroke victory over K.J. Choi. The 51-year-old Cink, the 2009 British Open champion, won in his 10th career start on the 50-and-over tour. He became the 22nd player to win on each of the PGA Tour’s three tours — the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour. He won about five months after blowing a late lead in Tucson. “It was a motivation, for sure, once I got near the lead in the first round,” Cink said. “I know I’m capable of winning, but we have this funny way of believing in like the 2% of things that happen instead of the 98%. Tucson I think was probably a 2%,but it happened.”
