Nathan has missed the cut at the Barclays Championship in New Jersey, ending his FedEx Cup journey for 2010. Nathan has slipped outside the all important 100 players who will advance to next week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston which is the second of the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs. Nathan's two round total of 149 left his seven shots outside the cut mark. Nathan will now have a few weeks off in Dallas while the remainder of the Fed Ex Cup playoffs are completed and expects to be back playing again at the first of the Fall Series, the Viking Classic in Madison in Mississippi, beginning on September 30th. "I will play all of the Fall Series of events other than the Disney event. Michelle and I will spend a few days here in New York City before heading back to Dallas. I played terribly here. I am over it at the moment. I'm sick of playing from the rough and my short game is a joke at the moment so hopefully when I return for the Viking things will be in better shape."

Nathan finished in 119th position at the completion of the FedEx series of events prior to the Playoffs and as a consequence gets his chance to improve that position in the opening event of the Playoffs this week at the Barclays event in New Jersey. He will need to improve however as only the leading 100 players of this week's field of 125 will advance to next week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. Nathan has not enjoyed good success in this event in the past although on only one previous occasion has he played at this week's venue, the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus in New Jersey. That came in 2008 when he followed an opening round of 77 with a much improved 67 and although he missed the cut he arrives with good memories of his last experience at this classic AW Tinllinghast design. |
