Mackenzie Hughes turned a nice day into a great one at the RBC Heritage with a big finish at Harbour Town Golf Links, leaving him just a shot off the lead heading to the weekend.
Hughes was one-under par through his first 12 holes before making birdies on four of the next five to finish at five under. He sits at 10 under par through 36 holes.
“I've started working with a new coach in Charlotte, Mark Wood, and my swing is starting to feel better each week,” Hughes said, “and I'm seeing that on the golf course. Shots are improving out there, and I feel like for me, if I can get around tee to green pretty consistently, then my putter can go to work.
In addition to this week, Hughes is hoping some good play will help in a battle to grab one of two spots on the men’s Canadian Olympic team for the competition in Paris in August. That will be decided in June. He currently trails Corey Conners and Adam Hadwin for the second spot. Nick Taylor is in first.
