Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Following a remarkable second round, Matt Fitzpatrick has secured a one-stroke lead at the RBC Heritage with an impressive eight-under-par 63. The English golfer, who claimed the 2022 US Open title, achieved eight birdies without a single bogey, including a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole. Fitzpatrick, who started the day in a six-way tie for third after an opening round of 65, now tops the leaderboard with a 14-under-par score at the tournament's halfway point. Norway's Viktor Hovland trails closely behind, retaining his second-place position with a second-round score of 65. Meanwhile, overnight leader Ludvig Aberg slipped to a joint-fourth position after encountering three bogeys on the back nine. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre finished the day six strokes behind Fitzpatrick, posting a 68, while world number one Scottie Scheffler carded a 67, leaving him seven shots off the lead.
