Gulf Weekly Thomas is a hard act to follow

Two days after Justin Thomas opened with a magical 11-under-par 59 at the Sony Open in Hawaii, fellow American Kevin Kisner fell agonizingly short of following suit on Saturday when he narrowly missed an eagle putt on his final hole.

Kisner watched as his attempt from 10 feet slid past the right edge of the cup at the par-five ninth and he then tapped in for a birdie to card a career-best 60 on the PGA Tour for a 13under total of 197 after three rounds.

“I hit two great shots (on the ninth hole) and had a great look at it,” Kisner said about his bid to become only the eighth player to break 60 on the US circuit. “Just a little bit of a misread, I guess. I hit a good putt, I looked up and I thought it was going dead middle but it didn’t break.”
