Henley makes cut, follows with big round
Russell Henley was facing a short weekend fairly clearly when play was suspended Friday in the Players Championship.
The first half of his second round was pretty brutal, with more bogeys than everything else. He fixed things and made the cut, and then exploded up the leaderboard on the third round.
Henley’s 6-under tied for the fourth-best round on Saturday and boosted him 30 spots into a tie for 35th. He’s 4 under with a 212 after the 66, 10 back of leader Scottie Scheffler.
He finished the second round’s second nine even, with a bogey and birdie.
Again starting on No. 10, he started with a bogey and followed with a birdie, then three pars and three birdies, and a bogey. The second nine included a four-birdie stretch in five holes, and no bogeys.
The 66 was Henley’s best round since a pair of 63s and a 65 when he won the World Wide Technology Championship in November, a stretch of 22 rounds.
Henley is not in the field for the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida.
