Kisner takes one stroke lead over Li

SHANGHAI – Kevin Kisner walked off the course in darkness Saturday with a one-shot lead at the HSBC Champions and growing list of challengers.

That includes Li Haotong of China, who had a 66 and was one shot behind with a nation behind him at Sheshan International. Dustin Johnson, who won the HSBC Champions the last time he was here, had a 65 and was one shot behind.

And the list includes Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth, who had a 63 to get within three shots.

Kisner rallied with two late birdies for a 2-under 70. Still to be determined was whether he had the 54-hole lead. Russell Knox was one shot behind and chose not to finish in darkness. He was to return Sunday to play the par-5 18th.
