Kisner is trying hard but he can’t seem to get off the struggle bus, shooting 13 over at Oak Hill to miss the cut. Kisner entered the week at No. 190 in the FedEx Cup standings. He tried changing coaches – splitting with John Tillery in the fall but after missing the cut at the Masters and shooting 79 and withdrawing at the RBC Heritage, he recently returned to Tillery, who has helped Kisner since his Korn Ferry Tour days.
Kisner has missed the cut in six of his last seven stroke-play events and also has a WD. He hasn’t had a top-10 finish since the Travelers Championship in June. He hasn’t shot in the 60s in his last 17 rounds on Tour dating to the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
It was a case of Trading Places for Kisner, who ranked 147th out of 156 players in the field in Strokes Gained: Approach on Thursday, but 15th in in Strokes Gained: Putting. On Friday, he improved to 20th in SG: Approach but tumbled to 149th in SG: Putting.
