Former UGA golfer Kevin Kisner wins Wyndham Championship

Former Georgia Bulldog golfing great Kevin Kisner won the Wyndham Championship golf tournament in dramatic fashion over the weekend.

Greensboro, North Carolina, is the home of the Wyndham Championship. The PGA Tour event was held at the Sedgefield Country Club.

Kevin Kisner’s win marked the third time in PGA Tour history that a playoff featured six golfers. Kisner scored birdies on three of his final five holes to win the tournament. All six golfers (Adam Scott, Roger Sloan, Si Woo Kim, Kevin Na and Branden Grace) scored par on the first playoff hole. Kisner won the event when he scored a birdie on the second playoff hole.

The victory is a perfect way to cap a solid the regular season for Kisner, who ended the season playing some of his best golf. Kisner will compete in the FedEx Cup Playoffs as the No. 29 golfer.

Kevin Kisner’s Wyndham Championship triumph is his fourth career PGA Tour win. Kisner improved to 1-5 in his career in playoff events.
