Around/About Central Georgia

Henley shoots better, loses ground
          The good news was the Russell Henley picked a stroke from Thursday to Friday at The Sentry in Hawaii.
          The bad news was he still dropped six spots on the leaderboard.
          Henley shot a 4-under 69 on Friday, but fell six spots into a tie for 29th in the 59-player field.
          The 35-year-old had two bogeys, one on the front nine and one on the back, and had three birdies on each side, ending the day with a birdie.
          He dropped because of big second round from Wyndham Clark, Taylor Pendrith, Robert MacIntrye, Cam Davis, Peter Malnati, and J.T. Poston. He’s one of seven tied for 29th.
