Henley turns in second straight solid round

          The bogey-free streak ended early on Friday, but Russell Henley got on another one en route 2-under second round of the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head.

          The steady day dropped Henley eight spots into a tie for 18th with four other upper-level players: Thomas Detry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Xander Schauffele, and Chris Kirk.

          That group is 6-under, 5 shots back of the foursome at the top.
