Ted Potter will try to end his recent cool streak at the $6.6 million RSM Classic beginning Thursday at Sea Island, Georgia. Ted hasn't make a check in four events since the wrap-around season began, but he's played well at Sea Island's Seaside course in the past. Last year, he posted rounds of 68-70-69-66-273, 9 under par over the par-71 layout, and tied for 46th.

    Charles Howell III won the event last year and its $1,152,000 check, and he'll return in a field once again sparsely sprinkled with veteran Tour players. Among them are host Davis Love III, Bill Haas, Stewart Cink, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson, K. J. Choi, Webb Simpson, Matt Kuchar, Alex Noren, Boo Weekley and J. J. Henry. 

    Brendon Todd, winner of last week's Mayakoba Golf Classic at 20 under par, is playing, as are Vaughan Taylor and Adam Long, two of the three who tied for second at 19 under. 

    Two Gators are entered - Billy Horschel and Brian Gay - and one Seminole, Hank Lebioda. Horschel's rounds of 65-71-66-68-270, 14 under, were good enough for a tie for eighth in Mexico, while Gay's 66-72-69-65-272 put him in a tie for 14th. Gay contributed a notable hole-in-one, one of two in the event - Kuchar had the other.
