Henley solid in final round
Russell Henley didn’t make much of a push to the top of the leaderboard, but maintained a solid status quo.
The Maconite manage three birdies en route to a second straight 3-under 67 to finish tied for 19th in the Sony Open.
Henley’s 8-under 272 was eight shots back of winner Chris Gotterup.
Up next for Henley is the American Express, held this week on three courses in LaQuinta, Cal.
