Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Matt Fitzpatrick has taken the top spot after the second round of the RBC Heritage, finishing with a one-stroke lead after achieving an impressive eight-under-par 63. The English golfer had a remarkable bogey-free round, with eight birdies, including a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole at Hilton Head. Following an initial round of 65, Fitzpatrick, the 2022 US Open champion, started Friday in a six-way tie for third but now leads the leaderboard with 14 under par. Norway's Viktor Hovland trails closely behind, retaining his second-place position with a 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 is six strokes behind Fitzpatrick after scoring a 68, and world number one Scottie Scheffler is seven shots off the pace with a 67.
