Henley rebounds from early hiccup
Russell Henley traveled across the ocean, battled a messed up body clock, and teed off at 1:46 in the morning back home, but at sunset in England.
All of that anticipation and all those adjustments, and?
He started the British Open with a double bogey.
Henley settled down, stumbled, and settled down again for a 2-over 73 in the first round, good for a tie for 66th.
The top 70 players and ties make the cut in the 156-player field.
Henley birdied No. 5, then hit a run of three bogeys on five holes only to finish with a pair of birdies.
That first hole will leave a mark. He went into a semi rough, then to a bunker, scooped out backwards from 16 yards to pin back to 26 yards, from a rough. He ended up three-putting.
He hit some rough on two of the other bogey holes, but missed a 6-footer for par on 14.
Henley tees off Friday at 6:47 a.m. EDT.
