Henry, a 28-year-old whose best finish on tour is second on two occasions in 2001, played an impressive bogey-free round.
"I think I knew what I was doing out there," Henry said.
"Actually I made a great putt for par on the first hole, about an eight-footer, and I thought that kind of set the tone for the day."
