WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WV – JULY 06: Kevin Kisner tees off the 11th hole during round one of The Greenbrier Classic held at the Old White TPC on July 6, 2017 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. (Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) /

It’s hard to look at everything that’s happened over this past month, and realize it’s been six weeks since Kisner’s triumph at the DEAN & DELUCA Invitational. Following that win up with a top ten the next week at the Memorial, Kisner looked to be in the best form of his career.

He’s hit some speed bumps since then, sure. A pair of 76s on the weekend at Erin Hills forced Kisner into a tie for 58th place at the U.S. Open. He just returned to action this week at the Greenbrier, but missed just his third cut in 19 events this year.

While those were clearly some tough weeks for Kisner, I’m confident that he’ll regain his form this week in the Quad Cities. Through all the ups and downs, Kisner still ranks 12th on TOUR in driving accuracy, 19th in proximity to the hole on approach and 20th in strokes gained – putting. If Kisner can get the wheels turning early on, he’ll be in line for another solid finish.
