CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kevin Kisner has always enjoyed playing Quail Hollow but this week that affinity has grown substantially.
Always more comfortable on Bermuda greens, like the ones he grew up playing in South Carolina, the transition this week to the more familiar putting surface for the PGA Championship has had a predictable outcome.
Kisner was second in strokes gained putting (4.02) on his way to a 67 and a share of the first-round lead with Thorbjorn Olesen.
“I do. I love playing on the Bermuda. I like the bent [grass] when I'm in the rough, but I like the Bermuda when I'm in the fairway,” he said.
