Sweden's Ludvig Åberg has taken a one-shot lead at the RBC Heritage after carding an impressive eight-under 63 in the opening round. Åberg's Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland and American Harris English are tied for second place.

Meanwhile, Robert MacIntyre made a strong start to the tournament with a five-under 66, just days after a dramatic Masters. MacIntyre had faced controversy at Augusta National, but put that behind him to sit three shots off the lead.

World No 1 Scottie Scheffler also made a solid start, shooting three under as he looks to bounce back from finishing second at The Masters. Åberg expressed his satisfaction with his performance, citing his iron play and approach shots as the highlights of his round. MacIntyre, on the other hand, talked about the challenge of controlling his emotions after a disappointing week at The Masters.
