Kisner a fraction away from another 59 at Sony Open
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kevin Kisner came within a fraction on an inch of another 59 at the Sony Open.
Needing an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole Saturday, Kisner hit an 8-iron to 9 feet below the hole for his chance at the ninth sub-60 round in PGA Tour history, and the second this week. Justin Thomas shot 59 in the opening round with an eagle on the ninth hole.
Kisner narrowly missed the putt.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jordan Spieth, who played with Thomas during his Thursday round of 59, had finished his round and came over to the ninth green to watch.
The last time there was a 59 and a 60 in the same tournament was the John Deere Classic by Paul Goydos and Steve Stricker — both in the first round.
