English and Henley Make Pro Debuts on Nationwide Tour

Harris English and Russell Henley will make their pro debuts today on the Nationwide Tour
After being roommates in college, teammates for four years, and after just representing the U.S. at the Walker Cup, Russell Henley and Harris English will make their pro debuts at this week’s Soboba Classic on the Nationwide Tour.
English accepted Nationwide Tour membership after his victory at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational. Henley is competing on a sponsor exemption. Henley could not accept membership because he waited more than 60 days to turn pro after his victory at the Stadion Classic at UGA. 
Harris will have 5 tournaments  left on the Nationwide schedule to play his way into the top 60, who qualify for the season ending Nationwide Tour Championship. 
Henley will have to rely on sponsor exemptions on the Nationwide Tour for the remaining events if he were to not finish inside the top 25 this week.
