Kisner, Brown 1 shot behind leaders at Zurich Classic
Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown nearly won the Zurich Classic last year after Kisner’s stunning chip shot forced a playoff. Another good round Friday put the duo back in contention at TPC Louisiana in Avondale.
Kisner and Brown shot a 2-under 70 to pull within one shot of leaders Michael Kim and Andrew Putnam.
The format switched to alternate shot for the second round, with one player hitting the tee shots on even-numbered holes and the other on odd numbers. Kim and Putnam made five birdies and were able to recover from a double bogey on No. 5 for a 69 and a 13-under 131 total.
Kisner and Brown are comfortable in the event that switched to a team format last year.
