Mayhem get a shutout

Henley reaches top 10, slips back a little

          A rare eagle to start the day helped push Russell Henley into the top 10 at the Genesis Invitational, only for some late hiccups to show up.
          Two bogeys in the final four holes dropped the Stratford grad into a tie for 20th through three rounds.
          Henley recorded his second eagle of the season on No. 1, then reeled off pars until a birdie on 10, followed by another two holes later. But he left a birdie putt a foot from the hole on 15, and then was off-target on a 17-footer for birdie on 18.
