Kisner cards 70 with replacement looper after normal caddie injures giant calf

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – The first round of The Open included a little more work than Kevin Kisner had expected.

Kisner’s caddie, Duane Bock, injured his right calf, which is slightly ironic given the generous size of Bock’s calves, on Wednesday and the three-time PGA Tour winner had to enlist the services of swing coach John Tillery for the opening round.

“[Tillery] was good. We had a good time,” Kisner said. “It was a little different but I think in the end it could probably help me. So [Tillery] can see it live in the flesh right beside me and see what happens in certain situations.
