Golf
Kisner sets a daunting target at PGA Championship

Kevin Kisner hits from the fairway on the 16th hole
during the second round of the PGA Championship
golf tournament at the Quail Hollow Club Friday, Aug.
11, 2017, in Charlotte, N.C.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In the dozen
times Kevin Kisner has played in majors,
he has learned they are not much fun
unless he’s playing well.
He’s having a blast so far in the PGA
Championship.
Sticking to a simple plan on a chal-
lenging course at Quail Hollow, Kisner
holed a 50-foot eagle putt from off the
green that carried him to another 4-under
67. That gave him a five-shot lead among
those who played in the Friday morning
side of the draw.
Kisner was at 8-under 134 as Jordan
Spieth, Dustin Johnson and others headed
out in the afternoon just as a light rain
began to fall. That might be the worst
thing that happened all day to Kisner.
The notorious greens of Quail Hollow
were slick as ever, keeping low scores at
a minimum.
“These guys going out in the afternoon,
they break 70 they’ve done a hell of a
job,” Rory McIlroy said after he suffered
another bad stretch and shot 72.
Kisner doesn’t have the length for this
7,600-yard course, but he has golf smarts,
a reliable swing and a good putting stroke
for the greens. He saw the changes to the
course earlier this year on a soft, damp
day and wondered how he would manage.
The plan was to make birdie on the par
5s and the two short par 4s, and play for
par everywhere else.
It has worked to near perfection
through two rounds, particularly on the
par 5s: a wedge to 10 feet on No. 10; a
wedge to 5 feet on No. 15; and the eagle
putt on No. 7 that rolled against the pin
and disappeared.
Rickie Fowler tried to do his part.
Playing conservative at times to be in the
fairway, he avoided a big number early in
his round when a 60-foot chip didn’t quite
get up a ridge and rolled all the way back
to his feet. He lagged the next shot up to 5
feet and escaped with bogey.
Fowler picked up two birdies and then
had to settle for pars the rest of the way for
a 70 that put him at 3-under 139. No one
else was closer to Kisner among the early
starters, particularly not Phil Mickelson.
He finally made a birdie on his 31st hole
of the tournament, but by then it was
much too late. Mickelson shot 74 and
missed the cut for the first time in the PGA
Championship since 1992.
Ryan Fox of New Zealand posted
the low round of the tournament at 66 to
reach 1 under overall.
McIlroy, meanwhile, made an amazing
escape of his own with a shot that bounced
so far down a cart path on the par-5 10th
that it was pin-high, 100 yards away. He
bounced a 6-iron from 110 yards up the
cart path, through the bunker and onto the
fringe about 40 feet away, and got up-and-
down for par.
Still lurking in range, McIlroy fell apart
early on the front nine with four bogeys in
five holes and had to rally with birdie on
the two easiest holes on that side.
“Obviously, Kiz is on fire right now,”
McIlroy said. “But take him out of the
equation, I feel like I’m still right there in
the tournament.”
That’s a practical way of thinking
whenever most anyone has a big lead, and
the fact it’s Kisner adds to the intrigue. He
is tough to beat when he’s hitting it where
he’s aiming because of his short game
and his fortitude. Traveling the mini-tours
toughened him, and he has won twice on
the PGA Tour.
But he didn’t play his first major until
the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, and his
finishes have largely been in the middle
of the pack.
“I’ve been upset with how I’ve played
in the majors so far in my career,” Kisner
said. “I feel like I have the game to
compete in majors. That’s kind of been
our goal for the year. We haven’t played
well in them yet this year, but every year
you learn more about the majors.”
The biggest lesson?
“They are really hard,” he said. “And
they are not a whole lot of fun unless
everything is working out for you.”
