Cink now feels he's worthy of ranking

CONFIDENCE is an ephemeral entity as much as an intangible one, but Stewart Cink is having no trouble these days feeling like he’s one of the best players in golf.

It was only last year at The Players Championship that Cink said he didn’t feel like one of the best players in the world, that he hadn’t justified what was then a fairly lofty standing in the Official World Golf Ranking.

On Sunday at the World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational, Cink’s performance was the best in the game - just as it had been all week.
