Around/About Central Georgia

Henley keeps it rolling at Wyndham

          A bogey on the third hole of the day?

          Pffft.

          Russell Henley followed that with a par and four straight birdies en route to keeping the lead at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.

          The Stratford and Georgia grad held on to the lead after two rounds, staying ahead of Rory Sabbatini, Webb Simpson, and Scott Piercy, a trio tied for second.

          Among those missing the cut: Hideki Matsuyama, Brian Harman, Matthew Wolff, Lucas Glover, Jason Kokrak, and Charl Schwartzel.

          Henley finished tied for ninth here a year ago and tied for 31st two years ago.

          He’s at a 14-under 126 after two rounds, four shots ahead of the trio tied for second. Friday’s 64 is Henley’s fifth round under 65 this season

          Tyler Duncan matched Henley’s first-round tournament-low 62 on Friday to jump into a tie for fifth.

          Henley entered the tournament 44th in the FedEx Cup rankings and 56th in Official World Golf Ranking.
