Stewart Cink will be eager to successfully defend the
2022 RBC Heritage and emulate Payne Stewart, Davies Love III and Boo Weekley in the process.
The American star has won this tournament three times, while Love III is the only golfer who has won more titles than Cink on Hilton Head Island with five trophies.
By winning this year's event, Cink would emulate Stewart, Love III and Weekley who are the only golfers to have clinched back to back RSB Heritage titles.

The 1997 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year won his maiden trophy on Hilton Head Island in 2000 after he rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to capture the title.
Then 2004, Cink finished in fifth place on the money list having won at the Heritage and WGC-NEC Invitational, which is one of the World Golf Championships events.
The Georgia-based golfer went on to clinch the RBC Heritage for the third time last year and he became the fourth player to win twice in the same PGA Tour season after turning 47.
Cink also broke the lowest 36-hole score and 54-hole score record for the tournament and he will be hoping to replicate the same form this year.
The 48-year-old is coming into the RSB Heritage in good form having aced the 166-yard 16th hole in the second round of the recent Masters' Tournament while using an 8-iron.
“It was the same kind of hole-in-ones you’ll see there on that hole over the years,’’ Cink said.
“It was up against the hill and it came right back down. The neat part about it was, as the ball got closer down to the hole I knew it was going in because the patrons in the front left all were watching it online
"And they knew it was in, and they all got up. I knew it wasn’t missing. So that was cool."
