Two eagles carry Russell Henley to Sony Open lead - BusinessWorld Online

Henley ended birdie-birdie-eagle to cap a 7-under-par 63 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. He sits at 15-under 125, with China’s Haotong Li scored at 12 under following a 65.Stewart Cink , Chris Kirk , Brandt Snedeker , Davis Riley , Dylan Wu , Patton Kizzire , Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama , Ireland’s Seamus Power and Canadians Corey Conners and Adam Svensson are all tied for fifth at 9 under.

On Friday, Henley started his round on the back nine and was at even par before sinking a 43-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole. He followed with a bogey and two pars before logging four birdies on the next five holes. That led to the par-5 ninth hole, where he rolled in a 29-foot eagle putt. Henley said of returning to a place where he owns a victory, “I mean, I’ve won three times, so not many tournaments I get to say I’m a past champ, so pretty cool. Place hasn’t changed with the clubhouse and everything. Have a lot of really good memories, so, yeah, it’s a cool start to the year for sure.”Kuchar began his bogey-free round with eight consecutive pars on the back nine before recording five birdies on the next eight holes.

“Another good day,” Kuchar said. “Probably felt in more control than , but found a good number of fairways. When I did miss, I tended to have shots, was fortunate. But started out I think eight straight pars and put on a good run. I think the front nine here is more gettable than the back nine is, and that’s kind of the way it played out for me today.”

Australia’s Cameron Smith, the Tournament of Champions winner last week in Kapalua, Hawaii, missed the cut by three strokes. He shot a 71 on Friday to end up at 2-under 138. —
