Haley kept this on the green.

Coming into today, he's already two under through three.

Couple of nice putts, and this one's from the fairway bunker.

Henley.

Wow, he turned things around.

This is his second at the 16th.

Watching.

He's at two under on his round so far today.

Played the back first, so he's on hole number 14.

Russell Henley's third, or second at three.

Really good there.

He just pinned the respect it needed.

But like you said, it's been an up-and-down day for him.

Hey, that'll make things a little bit better.

Make up for half.

Russell said, "I'm not sure I'm gonna hit it, but I think I might."

Fair enough.

You're entitled to that.
