Fitzpatrick Takes the Lead After Round Two of the RBC Heritage

Matt Fitzpatrick has taken the lead at the RBC Heritage after the second round, carding an impressive 8-under-par 63. He achieved this feat with eight birdies, including a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole, all without a single bogey at Hilton Head. Fitzpatrick, the 2022 US Open champion, started Friday in a six-way tie for third after an opening round of 65. Now, at 31 years old, he sits atop the leaderboard at 14 under par halfway through the tournament. Norway's Viktor Hovland trails closely behind, one stroke back, after scoring a 65 in the second round. Overnight leader Ludvig Aberg fell to a joint-fourth position due to three bogeys on the back nine. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre is six shots behind Fitzpatrick after a round of 68, while the world's number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, carded a 67 and is seven shots off the lead.
