My thought on Max Homa’s RBC Heritage club throw 😬 ⬇️

@NUCLRGOLF Didn’t he just say something about golfers acting “entitled”?

MAX HOMA TOMAHAWK CLUB THROW 🫨

@NUCLRGOLF @BrysonLegion Bro is aura farming always

Bryson DeChambeau couldn’t believe it 🫨 @BrysonLegion

@PGATOUR It’s the pants

Back-to-back birdies for Viktor Hovland 🔥 He moves to 6-under on the day and is just one back of Matt Fitzpatrick's lead. 📺 Golf Channel

Big picture: Fitzpatrick has separated himself for now, but this leaderboard still has plenty of firepower heading into the weekend. At Harbour Town his lead can shrink fast if the irons cool off even a little.

Harris English and Robert MacIntyre are also hanging around at -10. A few other big Friday movers: Patrick Cantlay fired 64 to get to -9, Akshay Bhatia bounced back from an opening 73 with a 63 to reach -6, and Scottie Scheffler quietly stayed in the mix at -7 after a 67.

RBC Heritage Round 2 is turning into a proper Harbour Town test. Matt Fitzpatrick posted the round of the day so far with a bogey-free 63 to get to -14 and grab the clubhouse lead. Behind him, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Åberg are the two biggest threats at -11.

UPDATE: Scottie Scheffler shoots a second round -4 and Viktor Hovland is holing every putt he sees. 👀 #RBCHeritage

@NUCLRGOLF @BrysonLegion You mean LIV doesn’t have the best courses on their rotation? Shocked

Harbour Town usually rewards control, precision and patience more than pure power. Round 2 should start to show who actually fits this course — and who just survived it on Thursday.

The biggest Round 2 names to watch: Scottie Scheffler trying to build on his Round 1 recovery, Viktor Hovland trying to stay in the hunt, and Rickie Fowler trying to prove Thursday was more than a flash.

What to watch for in Round 2 at #RBCHeritage 👀⬇️ Can Ludvig Åberg back up the opening-round lead, or does Harbour Town pull him back to the field? Friday is where a hot start turns into a real tournament storyline.

Scottie Scheffler produced the wildest early sequence of the day. He hit his opening tee shot out of bounds, scrambled to save bogey, and still shot 68 to stay within striking distance at 3 under. That recovery was a big story because it helped save his round.

@PGATOUR @collin_morikawa @RBC_Heritage He’s a trooper, clearly battling pain in the last round at Augusta too

"It is hard to trust the body right now." Despite a recent back injury, @Collin_Morikawa continues to push through @RBC_Heritage mentally and physically. He is currently T15.
