Russell Henley Wins Turbulent Honda Classic after 4-Man Playoff

Russell Henley Wins Turbulent Honda Classic after 4-Man Playoff
Russell Henley has gone from being cut at the Northern Trust Open to winning the Honda Classic just a few weeks later.
 
In a crazy final round that saw Rory McIlroy’s game implode and Tiger Woods walk off the course after 13 holes, Henley managed to keep his cool and ultimately claim victory.
 
During a 4-man playoff, Henley birdied the first hole, knocking out McIlroy, Ryan Palmer and Russell Knox.  Giving the 24-year-old his second PGA Tour career win as well as his invite to this year’s Masters.
 
“This doesn't feel real,” Henley said afterwards.
 
Number 1, Tiger Woods, left the course in Palm Beach Gardens on Sunday after 13 holes.  The reason given was a recurrence of lower back pain.  The Nike player stated he would receive treatment everyday before deciding whether or not to play at this week’s Cadillac Championship at Doral.
