A week of frustration for Peter has ended with him narrowly missing the cut at the Utah Championship in Sandy, Utah. An improved second round of 68 was not quite good enough to get him though to the weekend but there was a continuation of of some encouraging signs of late.

The week started when Peter's caddy in recent weeks advised him that he had found a bag on the PGA Tour and while Peter could understand the reasoning that the advice came on Monday evening it left him little time to sort out another caddy especially on a golf course he was playing for the first occasion.

Throw in the altitude factor in Sandy where distances can vary by as much as 10%  and it was a frustrating week in which Peter never really got comfortable early on.

Things appeared to be improving today when Peter birdied three of his opening nine holes and on making the turn he eagled the par five 1st hole and was comfortably inside the cut mark. Bogeys at his 13th and 14th holes and he was in trouble but a birdie at the 15th had him on the cusp.

A bogey at the 17th would mean he would need a birdie at the last to make it through but it was not to be and so Peter will have the weekend off.

Peter was hoping he might have a start at next week's Reno Tahoe Open but as entries closed today it appears he will not and so he will head to Nebraska for the Cox Classic in Omaha.
