Overnight leader Sung Kang of South Korea could only card an even par round of 72 to stay on seventeen under while Rickie Fowler and Luke List finished a further shot back.
Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, Henley said: "I knew I was playing well and I knew I was putting well so you're just trying to keep the pedal down. Every time you win it feels like that if you don't keep the pedal down you would have lost it. I just tried to keep doing what I was doing."
