Around/About Central Georgia

Henley falls from contention at FedEx St. Jude

          The third round of the FedEx. St. Jude Championship was fairly forgettable for Russell Henley.

          The Stratford grad’s efficiency in the first two rounds stayed there, and he shot a 3-over 73 to eliminate chances for a Sunday surge.

          Henley is tied for 45th with seven others with a 1-over 209, far back of leader Hideki Matsuyama at 17 under.

          An early bogey didn’t do any damage, Henley reeling off eight straight pars. The birdies needed to move up were absent until No. 17, after two more bogeys, and Henley finished the day with another after finding water on his tee shot and taking a penalty.

          That came after dropping a 14-footer for a birdie, and after near-miss on par-5 16 when he came close to a birdie.

          Henley tees off at 9:40 a.m., with Sungjae Im.
