Russell Henley Fires a 67 to Hold First-Round Clubhouse Lead ​​​​​​​in 2021 U.S. Open Championship

As first impressions go, the South Course at Torrey Pines Golf Course didn’t leave a positive one on Russell Henley. A first-round 79 in the 2014 Farmers Insurance Open – which also uses the North Course here – led to a missed cut and the Georgia native opting to omit the late-January event from his annual West Coast PGA Tour itinerary.

He was impressed, which didn't surprise me.  What did surprise me was just how impressed he was.  A few hours later I had a huge grin on my face when he texted me a pic of his new Tour V5 Shift.  He actually went out and bought his own after our round, I kid you not.
