Henley finishes strong at Travelers
After three forgettable rounds, Russell Henley knocked out his best score of the season in the fourth round Sunday of the Travelers.
Henley tied his season low of 65, which first came in early March at the Cognizant Classic, a margin of 39 rounds.
He recorded his first bogey-free round since the RBC Heritage in April the week after the Masters, the last time he has four sub-70 rounds.
On a weekend of low scores galore, 5 under was only good enough to tie for 48th, with six others, and was only the fourth-lowest score for the round.
It was a nice rebound and finish for Henley during one of his worst putting weekends of the season.
He tied for 65th in the tournament for birdies made with 13, topping his bogey total by five, with 51 pars.
Henley isn’t in this year’s field for the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. It’s followed by the John Deere in Illinois and Genesis Scottish Open in Scotland.
