Henley maintains, still among contenders at BMW
Nobody’s pulling away from anybody in this week’s PGA event, and Russell Henley enters the final round in contention.
Henley was even for the day and is tied for 12th after three rounds of the BMW Championship, his three-over 213 only four shots behind co-leaders Hideki Matsuyama and Dustin Johnson.
The course is keeping things even. Of the top 14 players through three rounds, there have been only 14 sub-70 rounds. Henley has one, a 69 on Friday.
He seemed destined for another such round, with two birdies through 13, but he bogeyed 14 and 18 to slide back to even for the day.
Henley has picked up 18 spots in the FedEx rankings, to 43rd, but needs to finish in the top 30 to advance. He tees of Sunday at 1:55 p.m., playing with Lanto Griffin.
