Russell Henley won the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a remarkable finish, overcoming a three-shot deficit against Collin Morikawa. Henley surged ahead after a crucial eagle at the 16th hole, which he achieved by chipping in from over 50 feet. Despite a difficult start where he bogeyed two par 5s, Henley maintained his composure and closed the tournament with two pars. Morikawa, who was close all day, ended with a 72, coming just short of capturing the title. Henley's victory marked the most significant of his career.
Henley said, "I was just so nervous. I can't breathe right now... I just tried to stay really tough this week."
Henley called the chip-in for eagle a good break, noting the ball might have run off the green otherwise.
