Russell Henley

Henley became the first PGA Tour rookie to win his debut in 12 years with a record-setting performance at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2013. He finished at 256 (–24), breaking the Sony Open scoring record by four shots. It was the second-lowest score for a 72-hole tournament in PGA Tour history, two shots behind Tommy Armour III at the Valero Texas Open in 2003.[6] The win gave Henley an invitation to the Masters and the PGA Championship.[7]

Henley won his second PGA Tour title at the Honda Classic in Florida in March 2014. In difficult conditions on Sunday, Henley shot a two-over-par round of 72 to make it into a four-man playoff with Russell Knox, Rory McIlroy, and Ryan Palmer. At the first playoff hole, the par-five 18th, Henley was the only one of the four players to find the green in two. Knox, McIlroy and Palmer all failed to get down in two, leaving Henley to hole from three feet for victory. He climbed into the world's top 50 as a result of this win and qualified for the upcoming Masters.[8][9]

In April 2017, Henley won his third tour event at the Shell Houston Open in Texas. He started the round four strokes behind 54-hole leader Kang Sung-hoon. Henley shot a final round 65 (−7), which included ten birdies and a double-bogey (ninth hole), to win by three shots over runner-up Kang. With the win, he secured the final spot in the next week's Masters and also a spot into the PGA Championship in August. At the 2021 U.S. Open, Henley held a share of the lead after the first, second, and third rounds. However, he faltered in the final round and shot a 5-over par 76 to finish in a tie for 13th.

Henley won the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba for his first PGA Tour win in five years. He won by four shots ahead of Brian Harman, hitting a record-equalling score of 23-under par.

At the 2023 Masters Tournament, Henley finished tied for fourth after a final round 70. This is his best finish in a major.
