HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- Kevin Streelman put a lof of focus on the Masters only to come away disappointed following rounds of 77 and 76 to miss the cut.

"But I'm seeing the results of the fruits of that labor," he said at Harbour Town, where he enters the final round of the RBC Heritage just three strokes off the lead.

Streelman is looking for his second win of the season after capturing the Tampa Bay Championship presented by EverBank last month.

"I don't have much to lose," he said. "I'm going to see what the course can give us. You're going to pick some battles to attack. And hopefully I have an opportunity on the last nine (Sunday)."

Given winds of 20-plus mph, with possible gusts as high as 40 or 45, opportunities to attack will be scarce.

Still, Streelman is happy with his progress and hopeful it will pay off with the second win of his career -- one that has spanned 156 starts.

"I really have a vision of where I want my swing to be, and a real plan of what we're doing," he said. "All of a sudden little pitfalls that you go through aren't that big a deal.

"I had a ton of good putts that didn't go in (Saturday), that was frustrating. But hopefully that's a little vision of what's going to happen (Sunday)."

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- The wind is already blowing at Harbour Town, and it's only going to increase as the afternoon goes on.

The National Weather Service has issued a high wind advisory beginning from 2-6 p.m. ET and is calling for winds out of the northeast at 20-30 mph with gusts as high as 40-45 mph.

The last group of the day, Charley Hoffman and Webb Simpson, will tee off at 1:55 p.m.

Not that Hoffman is concerned.

"Maybe the wind will blow my ball closer to the hole," he joked. "I live in Vegas, it blows out there."

He also won the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in 2007 when it was gusting nearly as hard.

But if it gets in the 40-mph range or above, it could become unplayable. That's what happened at Kapalua earlier this year, and here in 2007 when the tournament was forced to a Monday finish because high winds forced the suspension of play in the final round.

"I usually hit the ball solid and control it better in the wind," Hoffman continued. "I say bring on the wind."

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- When does a 76 and missed cut feel OK?

When it leads to another $2,000 being donated to aid the families of vicimts in the Boston Marathon bombings.

James Driscoll, who lives two blocks from where the explosions took place, launched his Birdies for Boston campaign earlier this week with the proceeds going to One Fund Boston.

For every birdie he makes this week and next, Driscoll will contribute $1,000 to the charity. Saturday, he made two, bringing his total for the week to $9,000, before missing the secondary cut at the RBC Heritage.

He'll continue his efforts next week in New Orleans.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- On a day that began with three players tied for the lead and a season-high 91 players having the made cut, only one was atop the leaderboard at the end of it.

Charley Hoffman birdied four of his first five holes Saturday and shot 66 to take a two-stroke lead through 54 holes at the RBC Heritage.

Webb Simpson is along in second after a 65, his career-low here, while Kevin Streelman is another stroke back after a 69 on Saturday.

Graeme McDowell and Brendon de Jonge share fourth at 7 under, while eight others, including Ryo Ishikawa, Camilo Villegas, Billy Horschel and Bill Haas, are tied at 6 under.

Jim Furyk, who won here in 2010, is another stroke back.

This marks the second year in a row that Hoffman has found himself in contention here.

A year ago, he shot 65 in the second round before eventually finishing eighth.

Early on in his career, however, he struggled with Harbour Town's tight fairways and small greens.

"I guess I wasn't mature enough to play this course," he said. "Once you learn what side of the fairway to leave it on and where to miss, you have a real big advantage."

Hoffman hit just eight greens on Saturday, but scrambled well and finished with just 21 putts on his way to five birdies and zero bogeys.

A win here Sunday would be the third of Hoffman's career and first since 2010 in Boston.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- Webb Simpson shot his lowest career score at Harbour Town on Saturday, a 6-under 65 that his him two shots off the lead.

Now he'll try to win for the first time since last year's U.S. Open.

"It's all in my swing," Simpson said. "We've been working on the same thing all year. We knew where we wanted to get, we just didn't know how to work on it. Once we found out how to work on it, everything clicked."

Simpson made seven birdies and no bogeys Saturday, hitting 15 greens in the process.

Given the tight confines at Harbour Town, the latter was especially important for Simpson, who took advantage of a soft golf course after more than an inch of rain fell overnight.

He didn't waste any time getting started.

Simpson made three birdies in his first six holes. He made two more on Nos. 10 and 11, then had critical par saves from the sand on each of his next two holes to stay within reach of leader Charley Hoffman.

"I think that's the beauty of this golf course is on paper and even to the eye it seems pretty easy," Simpson said. "But the greens are so small that it's hard sometimes to get it near the pin, especially with the trees overhanging by the green.

"I've always loved coming here; it looks good to my eye. But I never have quite gotten it going like I did today."

Following a third-round 66, Jerry Kelly reflects on his play in the 2013 RBC Heritage with Bill Rosinski from SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- Charley Hoffman is still in the lead at the RBC Heritage, but he has company close behind.

Webb Simpson just made his sixth birdie of the day, this one on the par-5 15th hole, to get within a shot.

The 27-year-old U.S. Open champion hasn't won since his victory at The Olympic Club, but that was just 19 starts ago. And though he missed the cut at the Masters, he does have a couple of top 10s this season.

Meanwhile, Billy Horschel, who owns the longest active cuts-made streak on the PGA TOUR with 22 in a row, is in contention as well.

He has four birdies through 14 holes and is two back of Simpson.

Horschel has been on a roll lately, finishing in the top 3 in each of his last two starts.

Eight others are another stroke back, including Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald, Tim Clark and Bill Haas.
