SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Reuters) -Russell Henley held his nerve and a two shot lead midway through the third round of the U.S. Open on Saturday with a pack of major winners breathing down his neck at Torrey Pines.
Henley, who shared an overnight one shot lead with Englishman Richard Bland, doubled that advantage when he rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt at the ninth to get to one-under on the day and six-under for the tournament.
