He\u2019s at 6-under, eight shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel great. Got off to a great start today,\u201d Henley said. \u201cI haven&#8217;t gotten off to the best start the first few. I felt like my game was there the first two days. I just was a little sloppy with iron play or missing on the incorrect side of the hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday was pretty clean. Hit my driver really well, got the ball in the fairway and was able to hole some putts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henley finished tied for fifth last year at Royal Troon, his best finish at the Open Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI played last year when it was really tough conditions,\u201d Henley said. \u201cNot to say that that means you&#8217;re going to do that every time.
