Russell Henley Looks to Build on Strong Start at The American Express
Russell Henley started his 2026 season with a solid T19 at the Sony Open, shooting 67 or better in three of four rounds. A rough Friday derailed a higher finish, but he'll look to build on that at The American Express. Henley has historically struggled at this multi-course event, with four missed cuts and only one finish better than T49 in seven trips, though his elite ball-striking and putting should play well on what is typically a birdie-heavy week. At the Sony Open, he ranked sixth in strokes gained on approach, 31st in putting, and 10th in birdie or better percentage, with his only weak spot being off the tee, losing -0.532 strokes per round. A bounce-back can be expected in this area, as he ranked 12th in driving accuracy in 2025. At $9,600 on DraftKings, Henley is a strong consideration despite his past results here.
