Russell Henley

Finished fifth in The 152nd Open at Royal Troon, his third top-10 placing in a major.

Henley was just a shot off the lead heading into Sunday following a stunning 66 in his third round and he finished on five-under-par, four adrift of Xander Schauffele.

Previously, the American was joint leader after three rounds of the 2021 US Open at Torrey Pines, but in the end had to settle for a share of 13th place.

A tie for fourth at The Masters in 2023, where he missed out on joint second place by only one stroke, remains his best major finish.

As an amateur he tied for 16th in the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach – unusually only good enough on that occasion to be joint low amateur with Scott Langley.

The University of Georgia student was named America’s outstanding college player that year and as well as earning a Walker Cup cap the following season – Jordan Spieth, Harris English and Patrick Cantlay were among his team-mates – he became only the second amateur to win a Nationwide Tour event.

Two years later he was the PGA Tour’s first debutant champion for 12 years with a victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii, which included three rounds of 63.

His second success came at the 2014 Honda Classic after a play-off with Rory McIlroy, Russell Knox and Ryan Palmer, then he tasted more success at the 2017 Shell Houston Open and last November added the World Wide Technology Championship
