CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kevin Kisner’s trademark phrase – this ain’t no hobby – refers to his prowess on the course and pursuit of cashing checks. But it could just as well reflect his ability as a world-class talker in the media tent. Kisner doesn’t provide canned answers and he was on his game on Wednesday when members of the media covering the Presidents Cup peppered him with questions.
Asked about how he learned that he was one of Davis Love III’s six captain’s picks to the U.S. squad, Kisner said, “I actually reached out to Davis and asked him if I need to practice or not during the Tour Championship because I was probably going to hang them up for a while. So, he told me to stay sharp. We talked about every day that week, and then Sunday he kept calling me and then not saying anything, and I thought that was pretty odd. Finally he called me, and he was like, ‘All right, I can’t stand it anymore. You’re on the team.’ ”
