RBC Heritage: Matt Fitzpatrick leads by one shot after day two thanks to bogey-free round at Hilton Head

Matt Fitzpatrick ended day two of the RBC Heritage with a one-shot lead after carding an eight-under-par 63.

The Englishman made eight birdies, including sinking a 36-foot putt on hole 15, in a bogey-free second round at Hilton Head.

Fitzpatrick - the 2022 US Open champion - began Friday in a six-way tie for third following an opening round of 65.

The 31-year-old tops the leaderboard on 14 under par at the halfway stage, with Norway's Viktor Hovland one stroke behind after retaining second spot with a second-round score of 65.

Overnight leader Ludvig Aberg dropped to joint-fourth position following three bogeys on the back nine.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre ended the day six shots behind Fitzpatrick after posting a 68, while world number one Scottie Scheffler carded a 67 and is seven shots off the pace.
