Henley hits some struggles in final round

The momentum of improvement each day stopped Sunday for Russell Henley, whose even-par day left him in a tie for 30th in the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Henley matched two birdies with two bogeys to equal his first-round score.

Brooks Koepka overcame a five-stroke deficit starting the day to catch fire on the back nine for the win.
