Matt Fitzpatrick has taken the top spot on the leaderboard after the second round of the RBC Heritage, carding an impressive eight-under-par 63. His round was highlighted by eight birdies, including a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole, all without a single bogey at Hilton Head. Fitzpatrick, the 2022 US Open champion, started the day in a six-way tie for third after an opening round of 65.
Now, at 14 under par, he holds a one-shot lead over Norway's Viktor Hovland, who maintained his second-place position with a score of 65 in the second round. Meanwhile, overnight leader Ludvig Aberg slipped to a joint-fourth position after encountering three bogeys on the back nine. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre trails Fitzpatrick by six shots after posting a 68, and world number one Scottie Scheffler is seven shots behind the leader after carding a 67.
