RBC Heritage: Justin Thomas holds two-shot lead after second round with Tommy Fleetwood three back | Golf Newsnews24

Justin Thomas followed his opening-round 61 with a two-under-par 69 to maintain the lead through 36 holes at the RBC Heritage, with England’s Tommy Fleetwood three shots off the lead.

Thomas’ steady round featured four birdies and two bogeys, pushing him to 12-under 130 for the event after he tied the Harbour Town Golf Links course record on Thursday. The two-time major champion is seeking his first victory of any kind since the 2022 PGA Championship.

Si Woo Kim of South Korea fired the round of the day, a seven-under 64, to leap into a share of second place at 10 under with Russell Henley (68).

Andrew Novak (65) and Fleetwood (66) are tied for fourth at nine under. Scottie Scheffler settled for a one-under 70, including all pars on the back nine, and is tied for sixth at eight under with Canadian Mackenzie Hughes (66).
