The Outlook

He’s contended in two of the past four major championships, earning a T-7 at last year’s PGA and a share of runner-up honors at last month’s Open. It certainly wouldn’t be a shocker to see Kisner contend yet again, as he tends to up his game at the bigger events. A safer play is for him to reach the weekend, as he’s missed just one cut at a major in the past three years.
