Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Matt Fitzpatrick secured the top spot after the second round of the RBC Heritage, finishing with a one-stroke lead after achieving an impressive eight-under-par score of 63. His flawless round at Hilton Head included eight birdies, highlighted by a remarkable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole. Fitzpatrick, the reigning US Open champion, started Friday in a six-way tie for third place following his opening round of 65. Now, the 31-year-old golfer leads the leaderboard with a score of 14 under par at the tournament's halfway point, closely followed by Norway's Viktor Hovland, who trails by one stroke 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 finished the day six strokes behind Fitzpatrick with a score of 68, and world number one Scottie Scheffler carded a 67, placing him seven shots behind the leader.
