Henley maintains
So far this season, Russell Henley is displaying some consistency.
He’d no doubt like a little better play.
Henley shot a 1-under for the second straight day and is tied for 50th after three rounds of The Sentry in Hawaii.
An improving round was sabotaged with a double bogey on the 11th hole of the day, and he closed it with a bogey, almost countering four birdies.
He is 6-under with a 213, 15 shots back of new leader Chris Kirk. Former Georgia teammate Harris English made a huge jump, of 26 spots, into contention, tied for sixth.
