PGA TOUR 2022: The Sony Open in Hawaii, Waialae CC, 13-16 January: Day Two
Russell Henley (US) leads by three shots ahead of China's Haotong Li
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by AP:
HONOLULU — Russell Henley set a strong target Friday in the Sony Open in Hawaii when he was 6 under over his final six holes and closed with a 30-foot eagle putt for a 7-under 63 and a three-shot lead among the early starters at Waialae.
So much of the morning was up for grabs after 18-hole leader Kevin Na began to fade, with as many as five players having at least a share of the lead.
Henley made the turn by holing a greenside bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 18th hole, only to miss the green long and into a back bunker for bogey on the toughest first hole.
And then he couldn't miss. He birdied both par 3s on the front nine from inside 10 feet, holed a pair of 12-foot birdie putts and finished with his eagle. Read more

Henley, who started the day tied for second behind defending champion Kevin Na, opened with a birdie on the 10th hole at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, and after a bogey at the 16th he kickstarted his round at 18, where he holed out from a greenside bunker for eagle. Read more
