Webb Simpson picked up shots on five of the first nine holes in a round of 64 for a share of the lead at the PGA Tour event.

The Waterford golfer backed up his first-round 67 with an impressive 66, as he remains without a bogey to his name after 36 holes.

It was nothing like the ‘crap’ he finished playing at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas last Sunday, but Rory McIlroy still needed a 30ft birdie putt for a one-over start to the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head today.
