Henley gains some ground at Memorial
A couple shaky tee shots led to a couple bogeys, interrupting an otherwise solid round for Russell Henley in the second round of the Memorial.
Henley sandwiched a pair of bogeys around two birdies on the back nine and finished 1-under for the day to pull into a tie for 20th, with an even par 144.
He’s nine shots back of leader Scottie Scheffler.
