Around/about Central Georgia
WBKB-Mercer’s Gardner gets 400th career win
MBKB-FVSU tops Savannah State, takes division lead
Henley shoots another under-par round
He dropped a little bit on the leaderboard, but Russell Henley turned in another solid round in the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.
His 2-under 71 put him at 9-under with a 210 for the weekend, but he fell seven spots into a tie for 29th in the field of 38.
Henley parred the first 12 holes, that streak broken by a bogey. But he birdied three of the final four holes.
