FORT WORTH, Texas — Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win the Dean & DeLuca Invitational at Colonial Country Club despite a Sunday charge by defending champion Jordan Spieth.

Kisner shot a 4-under 66 to finish at 10-under 270, including a clutch par save on the 18th hole after a wayward tee shot and an approach that was off the back side of the green and well below the hole. He finished one stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm, who missed a 10-foot birdie chance just before Kisner’s par putt.

Spieth shot a bogey-free 65.

Feng earned her first victory of the season and seventh of her career. She led by four strokes with four holes to play, but she made a bogey on No. 16 while Lee birdied 17. Needing a bogey on the 18th to win, Feng easily tapped in for one and finished at 19-under 269.

EUROPEAN TOUR: Swedish golfer Alex Noren rediscovered his sensational form of 2016, shooting a 10-under 62 to win the BMW PGA Championship by two strokes in Virginia Water, England.

Starting the day seven shots off the lead, Noren made six birdies before rolling in an eagle putt from 6 feet on No. 18 to finish at 11-under 277 in the European Tour’s signature event.

Francesco Molinari was second after a 68, with Henrik Stenson (68), Hideto Tanihara (68) and Nicolas Colsaerts (65) a shot further back.
