Peter is making slow progress in his endeavour to get himself back to tournament fitness and a return to the Nationwide Tour in July or August following his hip and knee surgery earlier this year. 

"I am working hard on fitness and recovery issues but it is a slow process," said Peter from his home in Sydney today. "I am walking each day, doing pilates and other excercises, riding a bike and hitting balls but am still struggling a little with playing a lot of holes and do not want to push it. I have had a cortizone injection recently which appears to have helped but I am still well short of where I need to be to be playing competitvely again."

"I have late July or August as my target for a return to the US for events on the Nationwide Tour and feel that I am on track for that. It is getting better each day I feel and certainly I am happy enough with the way I am hitting the ball in practice but it is really just a mattter of time and not pushing it too far."
