Around/About Central Georgia

Henley steady at BMW

          Russell Henley has found two mildly different routes to the same destination.

          He recorded different numbers of birdies and bogeys in the first two rounds of the BMW Championship for a pair of 69s.

          Henley dropped three spots in the standings, into a tie for 21st with four others.

          On Thursday, he had four birdies and three bogeys, dropping it to three and two on Friday. The only hole he repeated on was birdying No. 7.

          Henley is eight shots back of leader Max Homas, and tees off Saturday at 11:33 a.m. with Cam Davis.
