Cox\/Getty ImagesRussell Henley makes 18 pars in a round for the first time on the PGA Tour <\/p>\n<p>Henley endured a frustrating opening round at the Tour Championship, as he sits tied for last in the field at even par. But the way he got there made history. <\/p>\n<p>He had a completely clean scorecard, making 18 pars during his opening round. This is the first time he has ever done this in his PGA Tour career dating back to 2013. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"grv-tpwp-permalink-overlay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/talkingpoints\/talk-golf\/who-will-win-this-week-at-east-lake-%f0%9f%a4%94\/\" aria-label=\"Who will win this week at East Lake? \ud83e\udd14\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">       <\/p>\n<p> Who will win this week at East Lake? \ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/split-of-four-graphic-2-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121564\"\/>   <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also the first time anyone has had 18 pars in a round at East Lake in 24 years. Ernie Els was the last to do it during his third round in Atlanta all the way back in 2002. <\/p>\n<p>It might not have been the start that Henley wanted to his Tour Championship, but with his first round he has written his name into the history books. <\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Russell Henley has been one of the most consistent performers on the PGA&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,3332,44686,99,69507],"class_list":["post-828767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-pga-tour","tag-russell-henley","tag-sports","tag-tour-championship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
