He beat the Bears in clashes on Nov. 16, 2020, and Dec. 20, 2021, his two most recent times playing on Mondays.

Overnight leader Kisner had extended his lead after back-to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th saw him move to eight under for the tournament.

Say, “I’m so happy we could do this....

Buvac remains a Liverpool employee and his position will not be affected by his absence. It means Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp will be without his assistant of 17 years for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals against Roma on Wednesday.
