CONGRATULATING RUSSELL HENLEY
(Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. 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.
