Ludvig Åberg Takes the Lead at RBC Heritage as Robert MacIntyre Bounces Back

Sweden's Ludvig Åberg secured the top spot after the first round of the RBC Heritage with a stellar eight-under 63, giving him a one-shot advantage over Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland and American Harris English. Following his dramatic performance at The Masters, Robert MacIntyre made a strong comeback with a five-under score. Åberg expressed his satisfaction with his game, particularly his iron play and approach shots, stating, 'Anytime you are bogey-free and make eight birdies, it's a good day.' Meanwhile, MacIntyre put his controversies at The Masters behind him, focusing on controlling his emotions and delivering a solid performance. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler recovered from a rocky start to shoot three under, while other notable players like Shane Lowry and Justin Thomas struggled to find their footing.
