Henley enters third round in the hunt
The second round wasn’t bad for Russell Henley, but it was nowhere good as the first.
Henley lost five strokes in the second day of the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. and is now in a tie for fifth.
His 64 on Thursday tied for the second-best score of the day, thanks to five birdies and an eagle countered by only one bogey. A day later, six birdies were answered by three bogeys and a double-bogey for a 1-under 69.
Aaron Wise is in first with a pair of 64s, Brandon Hagy jumping 25 spots inot a tie for second with a 62.
