Around/about Central Georgia
Henley maintains at Northern Trust
Maconite Russell Henley shot his second straight even-par round at the Northern Trust on Saturday.
That kept him at two-under for the tournament, and in a tie for 68th..
Because of impending weather from Tropical Storm Henri on the Atlantic coast, the final round of the tournament has been pushed to Monday.
He was rolling along at two-under for the day, until hit by bogeys on 17 and 18, dropping him a chunk.
Henley entered the week 46th in the FedExCup standings. He finished tied for eighth in last year’s tournament with a 269.
The top 70 players advance to the BMW Championship in Maryland, with no cut.
