Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, had an impressive showing in the second round of the RBC Heritage tournament, hitting all 14 fairways. This was only the fourth time he has accomplished this feat in his 569 career PGA Tour rounds. Despite not being at his absolute best overall, Scheffler's driving accuracy has put him in contention heading into the weekend.

Why it matters

Scheffler's ability to consistently find the fairway is a key part of his game, as it sets him up for success on approach shots and scoring opportunities. While his iron play has been a weakness so far this season, his driving performance at the Heritage suggests he may be regaining the form that made him the world's top-ranked player.

The details

Scheffler carded rounds of 68 and 67 in the first two days of the RBC Heritage, leaving him seven strokes behind the halfway leader, Matt Fitzpatrick. Though he has been somewhat pedestrian in many of his rounds this season, Scheffler's driving was impeccable on Friday, as he hit all 14 fairways at Harbour Town Golf Links. This was only the fourth time he has achieved 100% driving accuracy in a single round on the PGA Tour in his 569 career rounds.
