Henley regroups in round

Russell Henley’s start to Friday, after starting the day sharing the lead, was mighty brutal.

He bogeyed five of his first eight holes, with a birdie and two pars, and dropped dozens of spots on the leaderboard at the Houston Open.

Henley settled down for the rest of the abbreviated round – the tournament was stopped for the second straight day for darkness – as some of the field came back to him, and he is two under for the tournament and three over for the day with two holes left in his second round.

That puts him in a tie for 20th with most of the field waiting to finish the second round.

Martin Trainer was five under for the day and is at 10 under with sole possession of the lead, by a stroke over Kevin Tway.
