Around/About Central Georgia
Henley maintains score, loses ground
A recent affliction with double bogeys has hit Russell Henley again.
This time, it’s the difference between being in the first quarter of the field and the second quarter, though not enough to alter his contention odds.
Henley was even for the second round of the Travelers in Connecticut, to stay at 4-under for the tournament but dropping 28 spots on the leaderboard.
He’s now tied for 42nd, 12 shots back of leader Scottie Scheffler.
On No. 13, Henley went 272 yards off the tee, but found water on his third shot for a penalty, the drop leaving him 40 feet from the hole and five shots.
He birdied No. 15 and parred the rest of the way.
A year ago, Henley followed a pair of 68s at the Travelers with a 61.
