Following a remarkable second round, Matt Fitzpatrick has secured a one-stroke lead at the RBC Heritage, thanks to an impressive eight-under-par 63. The English golfer's flawless performance included eight birdies, highlighted by a notable 36-foot putt on the 15th hole.
Fitzpatrick, the 2022 US Open champion, had begun the day tied for third after an opening round of 65. He now sits atop the leaderboard with a 14-under-par score, narrowly ahead of Norway's Viktor Hovland, who maintained his second-place position with a round-two score of 65.
Overnight leader Ludvig Aberg slipped to a joint-fourth position after encountering three bogeys on the back nine. Elsewhere, Scotland's Robert MacIntyre trails Fitzpatrick by six shots after posting a 68, while the world's number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, is seven strokes behind after carding a 67.
