After two rounds at the Truist Championship, Sungjae Im holds a one-stroke lead at nine under after a steady two-under 69. England's Tommy Fleetwood made five birdies and one bogey to card a four-under 67, sitting just behind the South Korean. American Justin Thomas and Alex Fitzpatrick are a further shot back at six under.

Rory McIlroy followed his consistent first round with another solid performance, recording six birdies between two bogeys for a four-under 67. American Rickie Fowler made a major move up the leaderboard with nine birdies in his second round of 63, finishing level with McIlroy. The Masters champion remains in contention at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.

The Fitzpatrick brothers are separated by nine strokes in the standings, with Alex nine shots ahead of world number three Matt. As a no-cut tournament, the event provides valuable playing time before the US PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania from May 14-17. Players will use these final rounds to fine-tune their games for the upcoming major.
