KISNER CLOSES WITH 66 AT COLONIAL

KEVIN KISNER finally broke through yesterday for his first victory since 2015, holding off a strong field at the PGA Tour’s Colonial with a closing round of four-under 66. Kisner second career victory contrasted sharply with his first at the 2015 RSM Classic which he won by a whopping six shots. He finished 72 holes at 10-under 270 just one stroke ahead defending champion Jordan Spieth, Spaniard Jon Rahm and American Sean O’Hair. “I am just honoured be the champion and to be able to come back every year see my name on the champions wall will be something special,” Kisner said. “I am happy to win any tournament but especially here.” Spieth shot one of the best scores of the day, a bogey-free five-under 65, while O’Hair and Rahm both shot 66 to finish in a three-way tie for second. Second and third-round leader Webb Simpson (71) bogeyed the 18th hole to finish alone in fifth and Danny Lee of New Zealand (70) ended up three shots adrift and alone in sixth place.
