Paul starts his 2008 Nationwide Tour campaign this week in Christchurch, New Zealand where he will play the HSBC New Zealand PGA Championship at the Clearwater Golf Club.

This is the first of two events co-sanctioned between the Australasian and Nationwide Tours, the next being played at the Moonah Links Golf Club on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.

Paul has played this event previously in fact in 2006 he finished 7th behind Canadian Jim Rutledge.

It will be early to bed for Paul tonight as he is in the first group off the first tee on day one when he will play with Chris Downes and Sebastian Fernandez.
