Matt Fitzpatrick Leads RBC Heritage

Fitzpatrick's round was highlighted by a stunning 36-foot putt on the 15th hole, part of a bogey-free performance that featured eight birdies.

The Englishman, who previously won this event in 2023, showed exceptional form on the greens to surge past a competitive field.

Hovland remains in close contention after a strong showing, while other top players struggle to keep pace with the leaders.

The tournament continues through the weekend, with Fitzpatrick aiming to secure his second title at the historic South Carolina course.
