Russell Henry won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Bayhill. I'll put the par 5 hole in the hole 16.
At the time, Henry faced a one-shot deficit on Morakawa's Colin, who was standing on a 10-under par leaderboard. However, Henry turned the story over in his direction, shaking it from about 55 feet away, eventually winning the biggest title of his career.
Henry shot a 2-under 70 to win one. Meanwhile, Morikawa was only able to convened an even number of par 72. The two major winners took a two-shot lead on five holes, but Henry followed him in the final few holes. His birdie on the par 3 14th also came at the right time when Morikawa dropped a shot there. There was a two-shot swing where Henry opened the door to win from behind.
Henry's victory is the fifth in his PGA Tour career and the first career since 2022 to win the World Wide Technology Championship.
