Around/About Central Georgia
Henley in serious contention through three rounds
Things were just cruising along for Russell Henley, now high on the leaderboard.
At one point, he shared the top spot.
Then came No. 13 at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, a seemingly routine par-3 193-yard hole, one that Henley had parred and birdied.
Oh well.
Henley’s double bogey dropped him a bit, and was the only smudge on another wise solid third round at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
His 1-under 69 still put him in a tie for fifth at 9 under, in a group only three shots behind Eric Cole.
Henley tried to get over water on 13 on his tee shot, and it landed in the native area. He is 43-footer for what would’ve been a stunning par left him seven feet for bogey, but he was just left, and tapped in for the double.
It didn’t leave a mark, Henley following with four pars and a birdie, including a sweet approach, a 179-yarder that set up a birdie on 15.
Henley tees off at 12:44 p.m. on Sunday with J.J. Spaun and Alex Smalley.
