Tom Hoge shot his low round of the season and tied for best round of the day, a 7-under-par 64, to share in a four-way tie for the lead Friday after two rounds of the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Hoge, going for his second career PGA Tour victory, is tied at 11-under 131 with Sepp Straka (65 on Friday), first-round leader J.T. Poston (68) and six-time tour champion Collin Morikawa (66), who tied for third Sunday at the Masters.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who claimed his second Masters title on Sunday, is tied for 10th at 8 under after a bogey-free 65 on Friday. Scheffler, who is seeking his fourth victory in his past five starts, evenly spread his six birdies with three on the front nine and three on the back.
Defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick of England moved up 20 spots by following his opening-round 70 with a 5-under 66 and is tied for 18th at 6 under.
Hoge opened his bogey-free round with two birdies and had five on the front nine to make the turn in 31 strokes, followed by two birdies on the last nine holes.
Straka, on the other hand, began with a double bogey at the par-four first hole, then rebounded with a birdie at the par-five No. 2. He totaled eight birdies.
Morikawa also enjoyed a bogey-free Friday with five birdies, and Poston had a relatively quiet round with three birdies and 15 pars for 18 holes.
