Kevin Kisner claims first PGA Tour title in RSM Classic

Kevin Kisner has claimed his maiden title on the PGA Tour after beating the field by six shots in the RSM Classic in Georgia.

Starting the final round with a three-shot lead over Kevin Chappell, the 31-year-old produced a faultless display on the way to carding to a six-under-par 64.

An impressive start under pressure proved to be key as Kisner recorded five birdies on the front nine, and a late collapse never looked likely as he avoided dropping any shots to reach 22-under for the tournament.

Kisner had been beaten in three playoffs in 2015, but his superb display ensured he followed four runner-up finishes with a victory.

Chappell, who has never won on the PGA Tour, settled for second place on the leaderboard after a 67 on Sunday, while Graeme McDowell was a stroke further back.
