Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on May 21, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Stewart Cink! From Rookie of the Year honors to Nike Player of the Year accolades—you've driven down fairways and into our hearts. You conquered Turnberry in thrilling fashion at The Open Championship (sorry again, Tom Watson!), proving you're truly evergreen on greens.

Whether sinking impossible putts or setting records with your stunning wins throughout decades on tour—your swing remains classic, timelessly effective and entertaining. May today find you surrounded by cake instead of bunkers—and scoring birdies off-course as well!

Here's wishing a golf legend many more championship rounds ahead—with even fewer sand traps than candles this year!
