Russell Henley fills the front pages of golf magazines after a great victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Few expected that the 35-year-old would be so superior in the fierce competition, but with this victory he showed that he will be a danger for opponents in the current season.
Henley has been waiting for a victory like this for a long time, which is the reason why his emotions were even stronger after this victory.
However, one moment particularly impressed the fans, causing their reactions.
Namely, the experienced golfer immediately mentioned his wife after the victory, saying that she was one of the reasons for such a victory.
“She puts steel in my spine,” he said.
His statement produced reactions among golf fans, especially female fans, who consider Henley to be a great husband and a man who understands how important the better half can be in a man’s life.
The 35-year-old was aware that he had to be quite superior in the final round if he wanted to celebrate. Collin Morikawa held the lead over him for a long time, but Henley took the lead after an eagle on the 16th hole, and ended the tournament with 11 under par (277).
The winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational shared that he was unbelievably nervous. Having such an opportunity in front of him carries enormous pressure and responsibility, but his experience was probably the key to success this time. Henley didn’t let anyone break his concentration, finishing the story in style.
“I was so nervous, so unbelievably nervous. I can’t breathe right now. It’s so hard and so difficult around this place.”
Russell Henley earned $4 million
With this victory, the American golfer received a strong financial injection worth 4 million dollars. Such an award will be a strong incentive for an experienced golfer to continue the season at the same pace.
He is a man destined for great things, no doubt about it.
