• In Santiago, former Bulldog Kevin Kisner won the Web.com Tour's Chile Classic at Prince of Wales Country Club. Kisner finished at 21-under 267 and held off Edward Loar by one shot. Kisner's tournament included a third-round, 11-under 61. He posted an eagle and nine birdies during the Saturday loop that set the course record. “I don’t know why I won because I played so bad the last two weeks and missed the cut,” Kisner said. “It wasn’t terrible but my game wasn’t there and I wasn’t confident. This course just fit my eye really well. I knew when I played my first nine holes in the practice round that I’d have a chance here.” Kisner won for the second time on the Web.com Tour. He previously claimed the 2010 Mylan Classic in Pennsylvania. Richard Scott came in 26th at 12-under and Hudson Swafford was 40th at 10-under. Bryden Macpherson and Scott Parel missed the cut and Paul Claxton did not start.
