Tree-hugging Patton Kizzire takes lead at Silverado in FedEx Cup Fall opener

Associated Press  

NAPA, Calif. — Patton Kizzire hugged a tree on the way to the first tee Friday as part of a mental exercise, then patiently worked his way around Silverado to take the lead into the weekend in the FedEx Cup Fall series opener. “I didn’t have my best stuff today, especially off the tee or into the green, but I putted well again,” Kizzire said. “My patience in the mental game and my putting have really kept me in it and allowed me to play really well.” Kizzire had a 13-under 131 total on the picturesque course in the heart of Napa Valley wine country. “I could have gotten frustrated or talked about a bad shot or worried about, ‘Well why am I not hitting it like I want to?’” Kizzire said.
