Rough final round for Henley, still a top-20 finish
Instead of making a move up the leaderboard to contend in a tight tournament, Russell Henley had some hiccups in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Three bogeys in the final five holes dropped him to 3 over for the day, and he finished tied for 13th, still only six shots behind winner Scottie Scheffler.
Henley, en route to the rare over-par round this season, had two birdies to three bogeys on the front nine.
After his seventh top-25 finish in 10 tournaments, Henley is in the field for the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
