BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Stewart Cink pulled away from the field with an astonishing stretch around the turn Sunday to close with a 9-under 63 for a six-shot victory in the Senior PGA Championship, his first senior major and third win of the year on the PGA TOUR Champions.<\/p>\n

Cink was one shot behind going into the final round at Concession Golf Club, and then he removed all drama with a remarkable run.<\/p>\n

It started with an eagle on the par-5 seventh. He closed out the front nine with back-to-back birdies to seize control, and then he poured it on with a 35-foot birdie putt up the slope and with perfect speed that took the break and dropped for birdie on the par-3 11th.<\/p>\n

He was 5-under par over that five-hole stretch, and then it was a matter of everyone else playing for second. Cink added an up-and-down birdie on the par-5 13th, and he rolled in an 18-foot birdie on the 14th hole.<\/p>\n

Ben Crane closed with a 68 to finish alone in second in his Senior PGA Championship debut.<\/p>\n

Keith Horne of South Africa, who began the final round with a one-shot lead, couldn’t keep up with Cink’s and fell back with a double bogey on the par-4 12th hole.<\/p>\n

Cink, who won the 2009 The Open Championship in a playoff over Tom Watson at Turnberry, has yet to have a round over par in his 16 rounds on the PGA TOUR Champions. Along with his three victories this season, he has a runner-up finish and his worst result was a tie for sixth.<\/p>\n

He finished 19-under 269, missing by one shot the record to par of 20 under by Sam Snead in the 1973 Senior PGA Championship at PGA National.<\/p>\n

Scott Hend and Steve Allan, both of Australia, each closed with a 71 and tied for third.<\/p>\n
