Paul has missed the cut at the North East Pennsylvania Classic after an agonising double bogey late in his round cost him any chance of forcing his way into the weekend at the event just outside of Scranton in Pennsylvania.

Paul again started the week slowly with an opening 72 which, on a golf course yielding low scores, left him a lot of work to do in round two. A double bogey at his final hole on Thursday made things even more difficult but today he was working his way back into the event before the double bogey at his 16th hole. His round of 70 left him three shots ouside of the required mark.

With the Nationwide Tour taking a one week break this coming week, Paul will have the opportunity to work further on the swing changes he implemented two weeks ago. Hopefully, by the time he returns to the Utah Championship in Sandy in Utah on September 5th, he might have his game in the right shape to make some progress over the closing stages of the Nationwide Tour season.
