Henley overhauls Morikawa with late eagle to win Arnold Palmer Invitational

• Henley's chip-in at 16th took him past fellow American
• Rory McIlroy to go to Augusta for Masters recce

The slowest of burners preceded such a dramatic conclusion. The biggest victory of Russell Henley's career arrived as Collin Morikawa was left to ponder how on earth he failed to close out the Arnold Palmer Invitational. For much of Sunday, Morikawa had looked untouchable.

Henley took to the 71st tee of the event holding the lead for the first time. He had claimed that with an astonishing chip in for an eagle on the 16th. This completed a four-shot swing in only three holes. Henley birdied the 14th as Morikawa bogeyed. After Henley's exploits two holes later, Morikawa had no scope for recovery. Henley's 11 under par took the Bay Hill tournament by a single stroke. He had trailed Morikawa by three after 10 fourth-round holes.
