Henley finishes strong at BMW

His season might be over, but Russell Henley went out with some momentum.

After three above-70 rounds that eliminated him from a chance at making The Tour Championship field, Henley shot a 5-under 67 Sunday at the BMW Championship in Maryland.

That put him at a 3-under 285 for the tournament, tied for 60th, a jump of nine spots from Saturday, when he was in last place.

Phil Mickelson and Kevin Kisner were among the bottom four. Seven golfers of 69 finished 20-under or better.

Henley had six birdies and one bogey, on 17, sandwiched between two birdies.
