The first question Stewart Cink received from NBC's Roger Maltbie after his round was:
Stewart, a tough day today. But I’d like to know, what’s it like standing on the first tee when you know your opponent’s better than you, he knows he’s better than you, and everybody else knows he’s better than you? What’s it like? What do you have to suck up inside?

Come on, Rodger...give the guy a break. Stewart Cink is one of the more stand-out guys on tour and deserves better than that. He took the defeat like a champ, answered Maltbie's question respectfully, and deserves a little more credit. He beat three European Ryder Cuppers--Miguel Angel Jimenez, Padraig Harrington, and Colin Montgomerie, and reigning US Open Champion, Angel Cabrera, to get into the championship match. Fortunately for Cink, he will sneak into the top-20 in the world after his second place finish.
