After such a promising start to his US Nationwide Tour campaign in 2008, Paul has struggled over the final three rounds, a final round of 79 undoing much of the good work earlier in the week when he opened with 68.

A triple bogey at his 12th hole today hardly did him any good but there was not much else to get excited about in a round  that saw him slip to eventually finish 59th.

Paul now heads west ot the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship at Wente Vineyards in California.
