An agonising double bogey at the last hole in today's second round of the Quail Hollow Championship has cost Peter the chance to play the weekend at the event in Charlotte in North Carolina.

After battling early in round two, Peter had fought his way back with consecutive birdies at the 14th and 15th holes but the potentially dangerous 18th was still to come. Peter missed the fairway right with his tee shot and had 173 yards for his approach. He pulled it left and found the hazard which guards the left half of the hole. He was forced to drop on the other side of the hazard and although he pitched to 10 feet he missed his bogey saving putt and took double. 

Despite the disappointment of missing the cut in such a frustrating manner there were several good signs this week including when Peter birdied his last three holes in round one to recover from what had been a slow start to the event. 

Peter eventually missed the cut by two and he  now heads to Ponte Vedra Beach for this coming week's Players Championship

Peter is in Charlotte in North Carolina for this week's Quail Hollow Championship trying to right a ship that went horribly wrong last week in New Orleans.

"Last week was a disaster, the only good thing to come out of missing the cut was that I got to spend some time with Barnesy (Peter's good mate and singing legend Jimmy) for the weekend and go to the Jazz Festival which was a lot of fun," said Peter from Charlotte today.

"I am not quite sure what went wrong last week as I was really looking forward to consolidating on the three cuts I had made in a  row and hopefully getting this show on the road."

"The course here though is fantastic and with no rain likely will be very Australian like by the end of the week. I only hope I can remember how to play like an Australian."

Peter has a 1.40pm tee time on day one. 

In a tournament where he finished runner up last year, Peter has slipped to a second round of 79 at the Zurich Classic and suffice to say has missed the cut by a big margin.

 After a round of 76 in yesterday's first round, Peter  was always under the gun if he was to have any chance of making the 1 under par cut but his round went from bad to worse after an opening bogey. Part of his late demise might well have been due to a lack of desire to grind given that he was resigned to the weekend off by the time he made the turn.

Peter is scheduled to play at next week's Wachovia Classic at Quail Hollow in Charlotte in North Carolina. 

Peter is in Avondale just outside of New Orleans looking to discover the sort of form that saw him go so close to winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans event last year.

The TPC Louisiana has been the home for this event for three of the last four years and Peter has played well in the two occasions he has played the event in 2007 and 2008. In 2007 he started well before faltering over the weekend while in 2008 he finished runner up.

Just over twelve months ago Peter was forced to return to complete his third round on the Sunday morning but over the next few hours he kept getting closer to the eventual winner Andres Romero. He was unable to find the fairway at the reachable par five last and was forced to settle for par which evenutally cost him a chance at the playoff.

Peter's form is beginning to come around, having made his last three cuts after a horror start to to season.
