THE FLATS – Veteran PGA Tour star Stewart Cink earned his first top-25 finish of the season, and nearly his best finish in more than a year when he tied for 15th place at last weekend’s Shriner’s Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nev.

The six-time winner on the PGA Tour got steadily better over the course of the weekend, firing rounds of 70-68-67-66 for a 15-under-par total of 271. Only his tie for 14th at the Wyndham Championship in his final event of the 2015-16 season was better as he limited his schedule to be with his wife, Lisa, as she undergoes treatment for breast cancer.

Cink, who finished outside the top 125 in FedEx Cup points last season, is playing on a career earnings exemption for the 2016-17 season, and last weekend surpassed $34 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour.

Cameron Tringale also made the cut at the Shriners, tying for 31st after posting a 10-under-par score of 274.

Both players are in the field for this week’s OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico along with Web.com Tour graduates Ollie Schniederjans and Richy Werenski.

Been away for quite a while (6 months since @lisacink's diagnosis) but I miss my people so I'm coming back in!
