Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Following a stellar second round, Matt Fitzpatrick has emerged as the leader at the RBC Heritage, finishing with a one-stroke advantage after achieving an impressive eight-under-par 63. The English golfer's remarkable performance included eight birdies, highlighted by a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole, all without a single bogey at Hilton Head. Beginning the day in a six-way tie for third after an initial round of 65, Fitzpatrick, the reigning 2022 US Open champion, now sits atop the leaderboard with a 14-under-par score at the tournament's midpoint. Norway's Viktor Hovland trails closely behind, retaining his second-place position with a round-two 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 concluded the day six strokes behind Fitzpatrick with a score of 68, while world number one Scottie Scheffler posted a 67, leaving him seven shots off the lead.
