Kisner leads again on the PGA Tour, take 1-shot edge at RSM Classic

Kevin Kisner is again sitting atop a PGA Tour leaderboard, out in front of The RSM Classic by a shot at 7 under par at Sea Island Resort on St. Simons Island, Ga.

Kisner, who finished second in his last start two weeks ago at the WGC-HSBC Champions and lost three sudden-death playoffs in the 2014-15 season, leads over eight players who shot 6 under par, either on the par-70 Seaside Course or, like him, on the par-72 Plantation Course.

This year, the tournament expanded to two courses for the first two rounds before the weekend trim with the field all moving to the Seaside Course.

The capstone for Kisner was an eagle 3 on the par-5 eighth, the next-to-last hole of his round.

Kisner, who now calls the area home, had played his Thursday course in the past, but his memory of it was hazy.

“I haven’t played the Plantation Course in 10 years,” said the 31-year-old South Carolina-born Kisner. “I think I’m probably better at golf now. I remember those holes being tougher.”
