After a break of two weeks working on his game, Peter is back in action this week at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro looking for the sort of finish that will assist him in his quest to regain his PGA Tour status in 2010.

Peter appeared to have things back on track a month ago but three missed cuts in his last three starts have him currently at 170th in the Fed Ex Cup rankings and with just the top 125 to advance to next week's Barclay's event in New Jersey then he will likely need a third placed finish here if he is to be involved in the Playoffs.

If he is unable to produce that finish then he will have a break of one month before the Fall Series gets underway which involves five tournaments after the completion of the Fed Ex Cup playoffs.

Peter has not missed a cut in five starts at this tournament although last year was the only time he had played this venue. After an opening round of 66 he finished well back.  

Peter is spending this week in Florida as he looks ahead to the remaining tournaments of season 2009 for which he will be eligible.

Normally the second week of August has Peter involved in playing the PGA Championship but after a year which has seen him slip well down the world ranking list, he must now focus on next week's Wyndham Championship to get things moving in the right direction. A big week there could change things dramatically but without such he will have a month off while the Fed Ex Cup finals are played and then return for the five event Fall Series.

"If that was to happen I would probably take a week completely away from golf before throwing all my energies into preparing for the last few events of the year," said Peter from Orlando today. "When you play bad you tend to practice more and it would be nice to rack the clubs for a week before refocusing."

"It's been a frustrating year and in actual fact I don't really feel like I am playing all that bad. I'll go out and hit the first 12 greens in regulation, make nothing and then miss a green and chip to four feet and miss it make bogey and then not be able to get things moving forward. I just haven't been able to build momentum."

"I have done a lot of thinking about things and am going back to the old way of chipping and to the old Peltz style of putting that I used to use. I have been working on opening and shutting the putter on the way back and through and to be honest I think I have been bamboozling myself. I am going to try and simplify things."

"I feel that I just need to hole a few in order to get a few shots in the bank so to speak as I feel that I am always playing catch up."

"As far as the chipping is concerned I think I have also been trying to get too technical. It is almost as if I have tried to create too many options for myself in terms of the type of shot and the trajectory of shot rather than sticking with what I know. In the past I have been a reasonably good chipper but it is an area of the game that has let me down of late through trying to introduce a greater variety of shots. Again it is now a case of trying to simplify things." 

Peter will next play the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro an where he has often played well although the tournament moved to its traditional venue in 2008, the Donald Ross designed Sedgefield Country Club.  

It has been another disappointing week for Peter at the Reno Tahoe Open, his marginal improvement on day two not enough to get him near the cutline. Peter 's rounds of 75 and 73 left him four short of the required mark.

Peter was making good progress through nine holes, picking up two early birdies and at that point he had moved within one of the cut but a a struggle over the final few holes cost him.

Peter actually had a great week from the tee, faring well in both accuracy and distance stats but that was countered by not hitting his aproaches close enough and not making enough putts when he did.

Without a start in next week's PGA Championship, Peter must now wait until the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro starting on August 20th for his next event which is the final event before the FedEx Playoffs for which he is not at this stage qualified.

Peter plays the Legends Reno Tahoe Open this week as he continues to look for that big week to get him back on track. This will be just the second occasion Peter has played the event at the Jack Nicklaus designed Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, Nevada.

Peter first played the event in 2001 when not a member of the PGA Tour and has typically been playing the World Golf Championship event this week since. Having not qualified for the event in Ohio, he is here this week to get things moving in the right direction.
