ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) -- Kevin Kisner ended a year marked by second-place finishes with his first PGA Tour victory Sunday at Sea Island.
Staked to a three-shot lead going into the final round of the final tournament of the year, Kisner ran with it. He doubled the size of his lead at the turn by going out in 30, and he breezed home with a 6-under 64 to win by six shots over Kevin Chappell.
Kisner became the sixth first-time winner in the fall start to the new season, though this was hardly a surprise.
