Henley hanging at Heritage

          Through three rounds at the RBC Heritage, Russell Henley has more birdies than he had all last week at the Masters, and he has 12 fewer bogeys.

          Henley is tied for 21st after three round with an 8-under 205, putting him eight shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler.

          The Stratford grad countered two bogeys with four birdies, despite a so-so weekend of putting.
