Stewart Cink is enjoying a late-career revival at RBC Heritage 2021. He’s won at Harbour Town before, but 2021 is a new experience for the 47-year-old. It is the first time that Cink’s son Reagan is caddying for his dad at the famous Harbour Town Golf Links, and the pairing is destined to reap success.
