    Golf fans may wonder why Jim Furyk and Mike Weir each need a foursome of assistant captains at this week's Presidents Cup, but at least one of those men, Kevin Kisner, stayed pretty busy on Thursday.

    In addition to his normal duties, the four-time PGA Tour winner had words with International assistant captain Camilo Villegas about Tom Kim and Sungjae Im walking off the eighth green early (It looked like Kevin and Camilo made nice after) in their match with Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley.
