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

Sweden's Ludvig Aberg has taken the lead at the RBC Heritage after a stunning opening round. Aberg's impressive eight-under 63 has given him a one-shot advantage over Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland and American Harris English. Meanwhile, Robert MacIntyre has made a strong start following a dramatic Masters tournament. MacIntyre's five-under round puts him among a group of players three shots behind Aberg. The PGA Tour is back in full swing after Rory McIlroy's Masters win, with the RBC Heritage featuring a strong field at Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. England's Matt Fitzpatrick is also in contention, two shots off the lead on six under. Aberg reflected on his round, saying, 'Anytime you're bogey-free and make eight birdies, it's a good day.' MacIntyre, who endured a tough week at Augusta National, has put his Masters drama behind him and is focused on the challenge ahead. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler recovered from a difficult start to shoot three under, while Ireland's Shane Lowry finished one under. England's Tommy Fleetwood is in danger of missing the cut after a five-over round.
