Golf: Justin Thomas fired a sensational 10-under-par 61 to open up a three-shot lead after the first round of the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage.
Justin Thomas ties RBC Heritage record | 01:44Four Aussies are in the thick of contention after the second round of the $20 million RBC Heritage event in South Carolina.
Thomas followed up his sizzling 61 with a two-under par 69 that was good enough to keep him clear atop the leaderboard. Kim produced the round of the day, firing an eagle and six birdies with just one bogey in a seven-under par 64. “I think that’s the start of momentum today,” said Kim, who is feeling extra motivated after failing to book spot in last week’s Masters.“But somehow I’ve got to move on.” Henley joined him on 10-under 132 with a three-under par 68 that included four birdies.
Thomas, 31, has his first 36-hole lead since 2022, keeping his nose in front despite battling an errant driver that could have proved more costly.
