Kisner triumphant over Spieth at Colonial

Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win at Colonial despite a Sunday charge by defending champion Jordan Spieth. Kisner shot a 4-under 66 to finish at 10-under 270, including a clutch par save on the 18th hole after a wayward tee shot and an approach that was off the back side of the green and well below the hole. He finished one stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm. Spieth shot a bogey-free 65. The 33-year-old Kisner got his second PGA Tour victory in 148 starts since his debut in 2011. He was a runner-up twice this year, and six times over the past three seasons. Adam Hadwin (70) of Abbotsford, B.C., was the low Canadian at 4-over. Graham DeLaet (71) of Weyburn, Sask., was 5-over, Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor (71) was 6-over and David Hearn (73) of Brantford, Ont., was 10-over.
