A potential ${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{x}}^{2}$-${\mathit{y}}^{2}$ pairing state in the 2D Hubbard model is investigated within a conserving extension of Hartree-Fock theory known as the fluctuation exchange approximation. The self-consistent field equations are solved with the aid of a recently developed renormalization group approach for general models which lack a Migdal theorem. The calculations yield an anisotropic gap which saturates rapidly below ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$ to a peak value of 2${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathbf{k}}$/${\mathit{kT}}_{\mathit{c}}$\ensuremath{\sim}10--12 for k along the ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{x}}$ and ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{y}}$ axes.
