Åberg Takes the Lead at RBC Heritage as MacIntyre Bounces Back

Sweden's Ludvig Åberg has taken the lead at the RBC Heritage after a stunning opening round, while Robert MacIntyre made a strong start following a dramatic Masters tournament. Åberg's impressive eight-under 63 has given him a one-shot lead over Ryder Cup teammate Viktor Hovland and American Harris English. Meanwhile, MacIntyre put his Masters controversy behind him to shoot five under, joining a group of players three shots off the lead. World No 1 Scottie Scheffler recovered from a tough start to shoot three under, and Ireland's Shane Lowry finished one under as he looked to bounce back from a disappointing final round at The Masters.
