Russell Henley takes a one-shot lead at Deutsche Bank Championship
Russell Henley doesn't get into contention as much as he would like, though he is tough to beat when he's anywhere near the lead.
Rory McIlroy seems to be there all the time.
They were among a host of contenders Sunday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, setting up the second straight week in the FedEx Cup playoffs that the final round resembles more like a free-for-all.
The difference at the TPC Boston is the presence of McIlroy so high on the leaderboard. The difference at the TPC Boston is the presence of McIlroy so high on the leaderboard.
Henley ran off five birdies in a seven-hole stretch around the turn on his way to a 6-under-par 65, giving him a one-shot lead over Billy Horschel going into a Labor Day finish loaded with possibilities.
Ten players were separated by four shots. Six of them already have won on the PGA Tour this season.
And one of them -- McIlroy -- has won the biggest events. McIlroy was dialed in with his swing and shot a 7-under 64 to get within two shots of the lead. He played with Chris Kirk, who also shot a 64 with birdies on his last two holes -- a chip-in for birdie on a shot that would have gone 10 feet by the hole had it not banged into the pin, and an eagle putt that stopped an inch short on the 18th.
"I've been in this position quite a lot recently," McIlroy said. "So I know how it's going to feel tomorrow."
