Viktor Hovland carded a 6-under 65 in the second round of the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage on Friday, April 18, 2026, positioning himself two strokes behind leader Matt Fitzpatrick. The Norwegian's round at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, included seven birdies against a single bogey.
"I wouldn't say I striped it today, but at least I kind of kept the ball in front of me, and that's what you're trying to do on this golf course," Hovland said after his round. "I hit some really poor tee shots that I kind of got away with, but at the end of the day, you just add them up and it was a good score."
Hovland's performance moved him into a tie for second place on the leaderboard at 10-under par for the tournament. Matt Fitzpatrick, the 2022 U.S. Open champion, maintained his lead after a second-round 66, sitting at 12-under par.
The RBC Heritage is one of the PGA Tour's signature events in 2026, featuring a limited field and a elevated purse. The tournament is being played at the historic Harbour Town Golf Links, known for its tight, tree-lined fairways and small greens.
