Hughes leads Canadians, Poulter has a hot 64 to lead the RBC Heritage.. Live round 2 scoring..

Apart from Roger Sloan (-1 70) the other five Canadians are in the early wave this morning as round 2 gets under way the the RBC Heritage at the posh resort of Hilton Head in South Carolina.

Mac Hughes got off to a great start with his -5 66, Corey Connors -3 68, Adam Hadwin and Michael Gligic +1 72 and David Hearn +4 75.

Hadwin was miked up and in a humorous moment when being assessed a penalty he asked if he "could turn it off" before accepting the penalty, then as the official left, said " screw you, but thanks !"

Ian Poulter had one of his better rounds -7 64 with a 30 foot birdie at 17 and a long iron stiffed to 3 feet at the last for another. Mark Hubbard is also at -7 64.

Last year I talked about a young Norwegian called Viktor Hovland. He is a prolific scorer and is in the hunt again at -5 65 with Micheal Thompson and Sebastian Munoz.

Jordan Spieth drove OB and 3 putted the 12th for a 7 playing the back nine first, but got hot and ran off 6 straight birdies for -5 66.

I loved to see Ernie play so well, ending up with -4 67 after taking the lead, playing partners Bernhard Langer and Jin Furyk had -2 69.

Rory struggled to +1 72 and the  cut is projected to be at -2 today, so he'll need to get a move on this afternoon.

It's all eerily quiet as per the new norm, like a very expensive members day at Harbour Town, nobody allowed except essential staff, no atmosphere, no buzz as COVID-19 continues to re- surge in the USA, with numbers back up in 18 states as of yesterday with more to follow.

None the less the PGA Tour plods ahead, everyone being tested and re tested, heaven help them if one guy tests positive.
