Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Matt Fitzpatrick has taken the top spot on the leaderboard after the second round of the RBC Heritage, finishing with a one-stroke lead after scoring an impressive eight-under-par 63. During his bogey-free round at Hilton Head, the English golfer made eight birdies, including a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole. As the 2022 US Open champion, Fitzpatrick started Friday in a six-way tie for third place, following an opening round of 65. He now leads the pack at 14 under par at the tournament's halfway point, with Norway's Viktor Hovland trailing closely behind in second place after scoring 65 in the second round. Overnight leader Ludvig Aberg slipped to a joint-fourth position after encountering three bogeys on the back nine. Meanwhile, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre is six strokes behind Fitzpatrick after posting a 68, and world number one Scottie Scheffler is seven shots off the lead after carding a 67.
