Nice round for Henley, until the end

          Russell Henley was cruising along, sort of, in the first round of the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio.
          Through 16 holes, he had two birdies and bogey. But he stumbled after nice tee shots on the final two holes for bogeys and a 1-over 73 for the day.
          That put him in a tie for 35th in the 73-player field, but only seven shots back of leader Adam Hadwin.
          On No. 17, Henley went from the middle of the fairway to a right bunker and then a right rough, hitting an 8-footer for the bogey.
          It was a similar replay on 18: tee to fairway to right bunker to right intermediate, but he just missed a par putt and tapped in for the bogey.
