The Arnold Palmer Invitational is a staple of the PGA Tour’s Florida swing. Wyndham Clark and Shane Lowry faded after low rounds early in the week. Sunday pitted Americans Russell Henley and Collin Morikawa against each other at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Morikawa matched some peers with the second-best round of the day at Bay Hill to take pole position entering the final 18 holes

Shane Lowry had six birdies Friday in slightly tamer conditions for a 5-under 67, giving him a two-shot lead going into the weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

He began the day three shots behind 36-hole leader Shane Lowry, but the Irishman struggled at Bay Hill, opening the door for Morikawa and others to move up the leaderboard. Lowry sat at 8-under at the midway point but dropped two shots on his first two holes — a harbinger of things to come.

Collin Morikawa wound up on top after the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He made a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole at tough Bay Hill for a 67.

Henley trailed Morikawa by three strokes at the turn but he showed great patience before delivering the knockout punch with his eagle at 16.

Russell Henley came from behind to surpass Collin Morikawa and win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and had some luck to get it done.
