Collin Morikawa part of 4-way tie for the lead at Hilton Head. Scottie Scheffler lurks 3 shots back

Associated Press  

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Collin Morikawa had another solid round Friday in the RBC Heritage with a 5-under 66 and appears to be getting back to the reliable form that made him a two-time major champion. But he found something at Augusta National last week — he was among those tied for the lead on Sunday until a pair of double bogeys around the turn — and kept hitting the sweet spot during practice and the opening two rounds of the RBC Heritage. What do I try?’ “I kind of roughly know where the ball is going, and even when I’m missing it, still everything is a little bit tighter,” he said. “I had way too many people telling me this guy was going to be one of the best,” McIlroy said of when Aberg turned pro last June.
