Luckless Jason Day has suffered a watery grave as Russell Henley produced a lightning finish to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational in the maverick style of the late tournament host.
Henley trailed Collin Morikawa by three shots with five holes to play before reeling his fellow American in with a pair of two-shot swings at the famed and baked-out Bay Hill Golf Club.
Henley chipped in for eagle at the 16th hole in the decisive play of the day en route to a final-round two-under-par 70 and his first victory since the 2022 World Wide Technology Championship.
