On the recordApril 7, 2025
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable achievement of professional golfer Russell Henley. Russell, a University of Georgia alum--go Dawgs--recently secured his fifth PGA Tour victory at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. Russell delivered a pivotal chip-in eagle on the par 5 hole during his final round at Bay Hill, taking lead over his playing partner, Collin Morikawa. Ultimately, he maintained his score of 11 under par to win by one stroke. Russell was finally back in the winner's circle for the first time in over 850 days, having been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour since 2024. With this win, he has solidified his position as one of the top ten players in the world. He outplayed some of the world's best golfers, showing his determination under pressure and setting an example for athletes worldwide. Mr. Speaker, I applaud Russell Henley for his outstanding performance. ____________________
