ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- One bad decision cost Mackenzie Hughes his 3-shot lead in the RSM Classic.Remarkable poise and a pure putting stroke for the Canadian rookie left him one round away from a wire-to-wire victory at Sea Island.Hughes bounced back from his blunder with a tough par save, three birdies and a 2-under 68 that gave him a 1-shot lead over Billy Horschel, Camilo Villegas and?C.T. Pan?going into the final round expected to feature more strong wind.Everyones going to be fighting the same kind of nerves trying to win, and hopefully, Ill be on top again tomorrow, Hughes said.Hughes was sailing along on the Seaside course Saturday, bogey-free for the first 46 holes of the tournament, when he tried to do too much from an awkward lie in a fairway bunker on the 11th hole instead of pitching back to the fairway. His feet slipped in the sand on his first shot, and it stayed in the bunker in a worse lie. The next shot was so fat it only went about 40 yards into another bunker. And then he three-putted from 50 feet and his lead had vanished.It was almost like I had been punched in the face there, making a triple after everything seemed to be going pretty smoothly, Hughes said.He kept enough of senses to remind himself that he was still tied for the lead in only his fifth event of his rookie season, and there was plenty of golf left. What followed was his most important shot of the week, a super pitch up a steep slope to a back pin to tap-in range to save par, and then three birdies over the next four holes.That pitch on 12 was probably my shot of the day, he said. Because if I follow that up with a bogey, the wheels start to come off even more.Hughes was at 16-under 196.Horschel, who hasnt won since the Tour Championship two years ago when he captured the FedEx Cup, holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole of the Seaside course at Sea Island for a 65. Villegas overcame a double-bogey early in his round and finished with four straight birdies for a 64.Joining them at 15-under 197 was another PGA Tour rookie, Pan of Taiwan. He shot a 67 playing in the final group.More than costing Hughes a big lead, that triple-bogey made the final round of the year on the PGA Tour far more bunched than it needed to be. Ten players were within 4 shots of the lead, a group that included Charles Howell III (13-under 199) and Stewart Cink (12-under 200).Horschel has slipped to No. 76 in the world since his big FedEx Cup run in 2014. He has worked hard on his short game and feels that turning around, and he believes the windy conditions after two days of calm might have helped someone who hits the ball as crisply as he does.He thinks experience will play a role, too.Theres some young guys up there on the leaderboard that havent been in ... obviously, theyve won other times, but out on the PGA Tour its a little bit different. But it all depends on what kind of conditions we get. I would to have similar conditions today because I think the better player shows up in these conditions.Villegas also has gone two years without a victory, and he lost his card this year and only got into the tournament as a past champion. One week could change everything.Let me tell you something, its 18 more holes of golf. Im feeling good, Villegas said. Ive been a lot more comfortable than I have been. I think its all about having the mind in the right place. My shots when Im calm out there are pretty good and hopefully we can accomplish that tomorrow. I think the leaderboard is jam-packed as always. Were playing the PGA Tour, the best players in the world, but Ive got to wake up tomorrow believing I can do it.Pan, a former No. 1 amateur when he was at Washington, went from four shots behind to a 1-shot lead in two holes when he rolled in a pair of birdies and Hughes made a mess of the 11th hole. Pan dropped a shot on the next hole with a wild tee shot that the wind made look worse, but he was never out of position the rest of the way.Hughes, who got married during his only week off this fall, has led at Sea Island from his opening 61 on the Seaside course. He will try to join Cody Gribble as PGA Tour rookies to win in the fall portion of the season, with one difference: This victory earns a spot in the Masters. Custom Charlotte Hornets Jerseys . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland.

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string.Its being billed as the big rematch - a chance for Canadas Womens National Team to settle a score with the United States following their controversial loss against their neighbours at the London Olympics last summer. In reality, Sundays match at BMO Field is more about moving on than looking back. This game will give a sold out crowd the chance to show its appreciation for the bronze medal winners, and the battle will certainly spark many memories of the Old Trafford encounter last August, but most importantly, it is the next step on the road to the 2015 World Cup which will be hosted here in Canada. By the time 2015 rolls around, the squad will have a much different look to the one that played at the Summer Games, and the clash with the United States is the next stage in its evolution. While some faces are new many remain the same, including the star of the team, Christine Sinclair. The 29-year-olds achievements at the Olympics - where she finished as the tournaments top goal-scorer and carried the countrys flag at the closing ceremony – lifted her to legendary status amongst Canadian athletes. As the teams captain, Sinclair now has a slightly different role as a largely veteran squad gets a much younger flavour. "I think back when I was 16 coming into the national team and how some of the veteran players helped me," she told me when we met at the teams downtown Toronto hotel. "It is all about calming your nerves. Its your first time playing in front of large crowds, or first time playing at home. Its reminding them theres a reason why they are here, they are tremendous soccer players, and just go out and play as best you can. This is not the World Cup - its a learning step for us. We know come the World Cup if we want to win it we will have to beat the Americans and we need to learn how, and this is what Sunday is all about." Beating the Americans is easier said than done. Canadas squad of players for this game is not as strong as it was when the teams met in Manchester 10 months ago. Coach John Herdman has been very clear when talking about where this team is at. While beating the U.S. would be sweet revenge, Sinclair acknowledges the most important thing is to continue laying a foundation for the program from wwhich the team can build towards 2015 and beyond.dddddddddddd "John is going to develop the youth. He wants there to be a streamline of youth players to the national team. The team that represented Canada at the Olympics was a veteran team and he blatantly said that there are going to be players on the London team that wouldnt be at the World Cup just because of sheer age. "Weve got a lot of young players in camp right now, the one who stands out is Kadeisha Buchanan who is just a tremendous player. I cant wait for Canada to get to see her play on Sunday. Its going to change. Weve got a couple of years before the World Cup actually happens and players will rotate in and well see who is playing the best in a couple of years." Despite the World Cup still being two years away, its not just matters of on-pitch preparation that have been in the spotlight lately. All matches in Canada will be played on turf pitches rather than grass. Its something the United States players have openly complained about with the loudest opponent being striker Abby Wambach. "I think everybody is entitled to their opinions," said Sinclair. "I would prefer every game of mine to be played on grass, it is how the game is meant to be played. However, FIFA wouldnt have offered Canada the opportunity to host the World Cup had the facilities not been up to standard. I know the CSA will do an incredible job. Both teams have to play on the fields. Ive played on many of the stadium fields we are going to play in and its going to be fine." While Sundays match at BMO Field is on a much smaller scale, it will give the players a taste of what is to come in 2015. The chance to play in a full stadium in front of the home fans will make it a special occasion. "Sitting here right now, Im just excited," she said. "It has been a long time since we have played at home in front of a packed house, not to mention bringing the Americans in. Im just excited to see a sea of red cheering for us and making the environment as hard for them as possible. We dont get this opportunity very often. It is going to be one of the few opportunities we have to bring, I think, the best team in the world to Canada, and we should embrace it." ' ' '
