Around/About Central Georgia

Henley rallies for top-5 finish

Russell Henley reversed things, just in time.

He shot five shots worse on Friday, and then four shots worse on Saturday. Instead of continuing that trend, he shot a fourth-round 68 to finish in a tie for third at the Honda Classic in Florida.

Matt Jones rolled to a five-shot win with three sub-70 rounds.

Henley, tied for 15th entering the final round, started off with all pars on the front nine, and took a bogey on 10. He had three birdies in the final six holes.
