HILTON HEAD, S.C. — Canada’s Corey Conners notched six birdies on his back nine to take the lead after his second round of the RBC Heritage on Friday.

Conners, from Listowel, Ont, shot a 7-under 64 to reach 11 under overall at the halfway mark of the PGA Tour event.

Toward the end of the morning wave, Conners held a two-shot lead on Australia’s Cameron Smith and American Collin Morikawa.

Conners is coming off a tie for eighth at the Masters, his second top-10 finish in a row at the major. He also has two other top-10 showings in his past five events, including a third-place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last month.

Conners is the top Canadian in the world rankings at No. 42.
