AUSTIN, Texas – There’s nothing better than a redemption story and Kevin Kisner is on pace for the ultimate pay off.
After losing his Day 1 match at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play to Ian Poulter, Kisner managed to win his next two matches to force a playoff with the Englishman to decide who advanced to the knockout rounds. He won the playoff on the third extra hole with a birdie.
On Saturday he’ll get another chance at redemption after losing the championship match last year to Bubba Watson, 7 and 6, when he plays Haotong Li, who also had to win a playoff to advance to the weekend.
