Russell Henley

Russell Henley recorded his best Open result when he finished fifth at Royal Troon in 2024.

It came a month after he was joint seventh at the US Open. In 2025 he again managed top-10s in those majors – finishing T10 at both Royal Portrush and Oakmont Country Club.

Henley has been a model of consistency in the big events, posting seven top-10s in majors since 2023 – including three in a row at The Open.

Henley came agonisingly close to a major breakthrough at the Masters in 2026, where he finished T3, two shots behind winner Rory McIlroy.

He did, however, enjoy his sixth success on the PGA TOUR when he won the Charles Schwab Challenge in May 2026, beating Eric Cole in a play-off.

As an amateur Henley tied for 16th in the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach and was named America’s outstanding college player that year.

As well as earning a Walker Cup appearance the following season – Jordan Spieth, Harris English and Patrick Cantlay were 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.
