Henley finishes Heritage strong

          The Heritage isn’t done, but Russell Henley’s visit is, and it was a good one.

          After a Masters that humbled almost the entire field, Henley rebounded well with four under-par rounds at the Heritage, capped by a 3-under Sunday for an 11-under 273 for the tournament.

          That put him in a tie for 12th. Eight players ahead of him will finish their final round Monday morning.

          Henley and four others tied at 12th are nine shots back of leader Scottie Scheffler, who is 20 under through 15 holes.

          A bogey on 7 was countered by four birdies, giving him four bogeys and 15 birdies for the weekend.

          He is not scheduled to compete in this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
