Dawg Nation: From celebration to devastation

Back-nine slows good Henley finale
Russell Henley had a mighty warm front nine on the final round of the Sony Open, with four birdies for a 4-under start.
But two bogeys and no birdies on the back nine slowed that progress, Henley still shooting another under-par round for a tie for 32nd after a 9-under 271 tournament.
He finished nine strokes back of winner Si Woo Kim.
Henley, who is not playing in this weekโs American Express in LaQuinta, Cal., is 10th in the FedEx Cup rankings and is 33rd in the Official World Golf Rankings.
