CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Tyrrell Hatton shot a 6–under 65 on Friday to move into a share of the second-round lead at the Wells Fargo Championship, while Rory McIlroy’s bid for a record fourth tournament title hit a major snag.
Hatton, who has one PGA Tour victory and six more on the European tour, played the final four holes at Quail Hollow in 4 under to reach 8–under 134, matching Nate Lashley and Wyndham Clark through 36 holes.
Lashley is also a one-time winner on tour, while Clark has zero victories.
Several highly ranked players were close behind, including No. 5 Xander Schauffele and major champions Justin Thomas and Adam Scott in the group of six at 7 under alongside Sungjae Im, J.J. Spaun and Adam Svensson….
