#37: Stewart Cink–Although he was never a prolific winner, Cink enjoyed several years as one of the best American players in the game–five consecutive Ryder Cup appearances attest to that.

The last of those was among the most dramatic majors in recent memory, culminating with a playoff between Cink and a 59-year-old Tom Watson, who was trying to win the event for a record sixth time. Cink was able to hold steady and win his major, completely transforming his career arc and even putting him in the world’s top 10 for a few weeks.
