Henley finishes tied for 11th

          Russell Henley needed more than just pars to make a run at the Sony Open title in Honolulu, but could manage only two birdies.

          Henley’s 68 dropped him into a tie for 11th at the tournament, his 2-under his worst round of the weekend. He went bogey free on Sunday, with birdies on 14 and 18. He finished with 19 birdies and an eagle, with 48 pars and four bogeys in 72 holes.

          The American Express is next in LaQuinta, Cal. Henley was 7-under last year, but missed the cut, which was after three rounds.

          Kevin Na came back on the back nine to win.
