A late surge of three consecutive birdies when play at the RBC Heritage resumed this morning was enough to get Ted Potter to round 3 after it appeared late Friday he was in line to miss another cut.

   When second-round play was suspended due to darkness, Ted was sitting at 2 over par and needing at least two birdies to reach the cut line of even par. Playing the front nine, and with six holes remaining, Ted birdied 4, 5 and 6 to get it to 1 under, and a bogey on No. 8 didn't make a difference. He wound up with 73-69-142 in an 11-way tie for 60th, and tees off at 12:50 today in a twosome with Webb Simpson. 

    Shane Lowry held onto the lead with 65-68-133, 9 under par, one stroke ahead of Trey Mullinax and two ahead of Emiliano Grillo, Dustin Johnson and Seminole Daniel Berger. Two Gators made the cut easily, Billy Horschel with 67-70-137, 5 under par, and Brian Gay with 71-68-139, 3 under.
