Around/About Central Georgia

Henley makes some progress

          Russell Henley didn’t shoot up the leaderboard on Saturday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but he moved up a little.

          He managed only one bogey en route to a 4-under 68 in the third round, lifting him a little bit into a tie for 58th, 14 shots behind leader Wyndham Clark.

          The lone bogey came on his third hole, right after a birdie. He added two more on the first nine, and two late one on the back nine.
