Henley continues to keep his foot on the gas with a six-stroke lead heading into the final round
Russell Henley remains flawless at the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship, having now gone bogey-free over the first 54 holes to (once again) set an event record pace at 22 under. Good for a six-stroke lead, the Georgia Bulldog will look to keep his foot on the gas tomorrow and turn this runaway effort at Mayakoba into his fourth career victory on the PGA Tour.
Beginning the third round with a three-stroke lead, Henley was cool, calm and collected from the start as he tacked on a birdie on his opening hole to extend his overnight margin. Losing his tee shot on the following hole, the 33-year-old was able to get up and down after a penalty stroke to maintain his bogey-free streak and keep his closest pursuers at bay.
Three additional birdies over a four-hole stretch on his front side helped Henley reach 20 under by the time he made the turn. With two more par breakers on his inward half, including one from distance on the par-3 15th, Henley has now signed for rounds of 63-63-65 around El Camaleon Golf Club and doubled his 36-hole lead heading into the final round.
