Team USA assistant captain Kevin Kisner gave fans an incredible live-tweet thread where he predicted Russell Henley's hot streak.

Kevin Kisner is one of Team USA's assistant captains, and he provided a brilliant thread on social media during the middle of the first session at the Presidents Cup.

He predicted Russell Henley would get hot down the stretch of his and Scottie Scheffler's match, and the fellow Georgia Bulldog did just that. It was not the first instance this grouping pulled attention Thursday as Scheffler and Tom Kim exchanged words.

"My boy Russ about to start knocking them down," Kisner wrote.

Riggs from Barstool's ForePlay Pod responded to Kisner and said he had a beer for him.

When Kisner found Riggs, the creator did not have a beer, so what did the assistant captain do? He told the world about it and threw Riggs under the bus.

While Kisner called Riggs a weirdo, it was a joke as they are friends.

Henley's hot streak began on the 14th and 15th hole as he made back-to-back birdies to secure Team USA's second point. That match was much closer than the score indicated, but those two moments really helped the Americans get the job done.

After Henley made the birdie on 14, Kisner took to Twitter again.

The final tweet came when Henley secured the point on 15.

"Momma, there goes that man again," Kisner wrote.

It is excellent for fan interaction to see an assistant captain live tweet and predict what one of the players will do, especially when it is someone like Kisner. Most of the time, being on social media during the event is not normal, but since Kisner is one of a kind, it felt completely on brand for him to do this.

Kisner's personality is perfect for team events like the Presidents Cup, so it is good to see him able to be himself.

Team USA and the International Team kept the five matches tight throughout the day, but as the session progressed, the Americans pulled away. Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele scored the first point, and Scheffler and Henley quickly followed with the second.
