Kisner holds on at Colonial

Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win the Colonial in Fort Worth, repelling defending champion Jordan Spieth’s Sunday charge.

Kisner saved par with a five-foot putt at No. 18 to win his second PGA Tour title in 148 starts. He shot a four-under-par 66 to finish at 10-under 270, a stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm. Spieth, who shot a bogey-free 65, was trying to become the only player other than Ben Hogan to win consecutive Colonials. Hogan won five times, including the first two in 1946 and ’47, and 1952 and ’53.

He tied Jack Nicklaus’ senior major record last week at the Regions Tradition in Alabama.
