Kisner trips along Green Mile, can't close first major

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kevin Kisner got tripped up by the Green Mile for the second straight day. This time, it cost him a shot at winning his first major.

Kisner started the final round of the PGA Championship with a one-shot lead, and he was only one shot behind Justin Thomas standing on the 16th hole. But a Kisner bogey on No. 16 was followed by a Thomas birdie on No. 17, and Kisner closed with a watery double knowing he needed an eagle to force a playoff.

It was a similar outcome to Kisner’s third round, when he doubled No.
