Jordan Spieth charges, but Kevin Kisner wins Colonial by stroke

The affirmative answer came Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas, when Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine at Hogan’s Alley to go ahead, then finished his 4-under-par 66 with a clutch par save at the 18th after a wayward tee shot and an approach off the back side of the green and well below the hole.

Spieth, who started the day five strokes back, was standing on a chair to see over the crowd at the 18th green after his bogey-free round when Kisner putted up the mound to 5 feet of the cup and then made the winning putt.

Rahm, who the last two years won the Ben Hogan Award as the nation’s top college player, had just watched his 10-foot birdie chance skirt left.

Bernhard Langer played near-flawless golf and took advantage of Vijay Singh’s late mistakes to win the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National in Sterling, Va., for his record ninth senior major.

Langer, 59, tied Jack Nicklaus’ senior major record last week with a comeback victory in the Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Ala., and the record is his alone after shooting a 4-under 68 to finish at 18-under 270, beating Singh (70) by one.

Sweden’s Alex Noren pulled off a stunning comeback, shooting a 10-under 62 to win the BMW PGA Championship by two strokes at Wentworth in Virginia Water, England.

Starting the day seven shots off the lead, the 13th-ranked player made six birdies before rolling in an eagle putt from 6 feet on No. 18 to complete what he described as “probably the best round of my life.”
