With four consecutive T20 finishes including a T4 showing at the Masters, Henley, who additionally ranks No. 7 in proximity to the hole from the rough (in case he does flair the occasional shot) over the last 36 rounds, is in proper form to not only compete at Oak Hill but on the west coast during the next major, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brian Harman &#8211; $2.70 CORE, $14 RARE, $98.99 ELITE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t exit that browser!
