Three adrift to start the day at East Lake Country Club in Atlanta, Georgia, Fleetwood nabbed four birdies in six holes on the back nine and bounced back from a bogey at 16 with back-to-back birdies for a 13-under par total of 127.

Henley, who led by two after the first round, closed with back-to-back birdies in a four-under 66 to claim his share of the lead.

The top duo were two strokes clear of Cameron Young, who charged up the leaderboard with an eight-under 62 that saw Young make six of his nine birdies on the back nine.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and Patrick Cantlay shared fourth on 10-under and world No.1 Scottie Scheffler was alone in sixth on eight-under.
