Paul's preparation for the Final Stage of 2009 USPGA Tour qualifying continues at home in Australia with most of his pratice being done at Magenta Shores on the Central Coast of New South Wales. He returns to the US on Sunday 30th and will have three days at the PGA West Course prior to the six rounds of the Final Stage commencing on December 3rd.

"I was really happy with the way I hit the ball at Stage Two and feel good about the manner in which my game is coming around. I will have a couple of practice rounds at PGA West. It was at that venue where I managed to get through a couple of years ago and am obviously looking for a similar result."

"My coach Alex Murray will come down to La Quinta just prior to the event but I feel that much of the work has already been done and it will be a case of making sure I am still on track."

"I will be back to play at the Australian Open and will play at Royal Sydney in the next few days as there won't be any time to play there prior to the Australian Open. I get back from California on the Wednesday of that event."
