Daily Wrap Up Dean & Deluca Round 4Daily Wrap Up Dean & Deluca Round 4
FORT WORTH, Texas — Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win at DEAN & DELUCA 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 a stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm. Spieth shot a bogey-free 65, and was standing on a chair to see over the crowd at the 18th green when Kisner putted up the mound to 5 feet of the cup and then made the winning putt. That came right after Rahm’s 10-foot birdie chance skirted just to the left of the hole. The 33-year-old Kisner got his second PGA TOUR victory in 148 starts since his debut in 2011, and a check for just more than $1.2 million. He was a runner-up twice this year, and six times over past three seasons. Kisner had a three-stroke lead at the turn on the final day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March before finishing a stroke behind Marc Leishman. Kisner made a nearly 95-foot chip-in for eagle to get him and fellow Aiken, South Carolina, resident Scott Brown into playoff at the Zurich Classic’s new team format before losing to the Australian duo of Cameron Smith and Jonas Blixt on the fourth extra hole. After a 14-foot birdie at the 420-yard 15th hole at Hogan’s Alley, Kisner had a two-stroke lead. That at the same hole where Spieth, playing two groups ahead of him, punctuated an 11-foot birdie putt with a fist pump. But about the same time Kisner made a bogey at the par-3 16th, Spieth was hitting his drive way right at the 18th hole and went on to save par after a chip to 5 feet. Kisner hit a similar drive, and also saved par. Spieth, who had missed consecutive cuts at THE PLAYERS Championship and the AT&T Byron Nelson, 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 1947, along with consecutive wins again in 1952 and 1953. O’Hair and Rahm, who the last two years won the Ben Hogan Award as the nation’s top college player, both shot 66. There were several near misses for Spieth, who started the day five strokes behind 54-hole leader Webb Simpson. Spieth had birdies on the first two holes before a nearly 20-footer lipped out at the 453-yard No. 3 hole. He also just missed a 12-footer at No. 9, and a 25-footer at the 446-yard 12th hole rolled over the left edge of the cup. Simpson, the 2012 U.S. Open winner, was the 54-hole leader by two strokes, but started the final round with an unusual bogey at the par-5 first hole. His only birdie came at No. 9, and he bogeyed the 18th when he drove into the left rough after Kisner had already posted his final putt. Simpson had a 71 finish fifth at 8 under. Steve Stricker, the 2009 Colonial winner who turned 50 this year, shot a 63 to move from a tie for 32nd to a tie for seventh for 6 under. He had eight birdies his first 14 holes Sunday, on track to challenge the Colonial course record of 61 and maybe even a 59, before a bogey and three closing pars.

Overton facing dangerous spine infectionOverton facing dangerous spine infection
A minimally invasive procedure to alleviate a lingering herniated disc turned into a “life-threatening infection� in Jeff Overton’s spine, according to a Facebook post Sunday written by the PGA TOUR veteran’s wife. The infection prompted emergency surgery, and Overton has faced an extended recovery period. But his wife, Christina, says her husband has finally turned the corner. “After a month in the hospital and acute rehab center, many nights of excruciating pain and uncertainty, two months of IV antibiotics and ho home health care, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel,� she wrote. Christina made the Facebook post, which her husband tweeted, on Jeff’s 34th birthday. “Today we are celebrating his health and his life,� she wrote. Jeff acknowledged his wife’s support in his tweet. “These last few months have been surreal and certainly makes you appreciate life and health. @OvertonMezzo, you have been incredible.� Jeff has only played once this year on the PGA TOUR, shooting rounds of 76-70 and missing the cut at The Honda Classic in February. Prior to that tournament, the former Ryder Cupper had not played since the Barbasol Championship in July of 2015. Here is the complete text of Christina’s Facebook post: “Happy 34th birthday to this guy! My best friend and the guy who keeps me laughing. There is no one I know with a more positive outlook on life, who takes life as it comes. “After taking several months off of competitive golf due to a herniated disc, Jeff underwent a minimally invasive procedure in hopes of improving the area. Through the procedure, he acquired a life-threatening infection in his spine, forcing him to have an emergency surgery. After a month in the hospital and acute rehab center, many nights of excruciating pain and uncertainty, two months of IV antibiotics and home health care, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Today, we are celebrating his health and life. I’ve learned that life is precious and health is something we take for granted. I’ve also learned how to flush a picc line and make a chair very, VERY comfortable. “I want to thank all of our closest friends and family who have been near to us during this time. I’d also like to thank his doctor, who answered my texts at all hours and who has walked with us through this nightmare of a situation, holding our hands every step of the way.�
