Sungjae Im (-9) stayed steady at Quail Hollow to maintain his lead after Round 2 of the Truist Championship. A composed -2 on Friday kept him one shot clear of Tommy Fleetwood (-8), who climbed into second with a sharp -4 that showcased his precision on the demanding layout.

Just behind, Matt Fitzpatrick (-7) and Justin Thomas (-7) share third place after consistent -3 rounds, keeping themselves firmly in contention. A group at -6—including Kristoffer Reitan, Nicolai Højgaard, and David Lipsky—remain close enough to challenge over the weekend.

Rory McIlroy (-5) made a move with a -4, joining Harris English (-5), Rickie Fowler (-5), and Matt McCarty (-5) in the chasing pack. Fowler’s standout -8 was the round of the day, vaulting him back into the mix after a slower start.

With Im holding a slim advantage and Fleetwood, Fitzpatrick, and Thomas pressing close, the Truist Championship is shaping up for a thrilling weekend. Quail Hollow’s demanding setup is already producing momentum swings, and Round 3 promises high drama as the field battles for position heading into Sunday.
