John Haslbauer said Russell Henley is the first name he clicked in his model and expects him to be in the hunt at Waialae once more. Henley owns the most total strokes-gained at the course among players in the field, captured his first TOUR victory here 13 years ago, and has stacked four top-11 finishes at the Sony over the last five seasons. Over his last 36 measured rounds he ranks top-5 in Driving Accuracy, Comp-Course History and SG: Tee-to-Green, a perfect skill set for a layout that punishes missed fairways and leans on 125-200 yard approach play. Haslbauer noted that Henley also grades out above average in every key stat he weighted (SG: APP, Prox 125-200, Par-4 400-500, SG: OTT on courses <7,200 yards, SG: ARG, and Bermuda putting). The combination of elite course history and current statistical form makes Henley an automatic add to outright cards and DFS cores despite a short price.
