An all important last hole birdie on day two of the Oregon Classic has Paul in the weekend field but it was a disappointing day overall.

After a strong finish to his opening round of 69 had given hope for today, Paul made a slow start with two early bogies and was on the back foot from that point. He was then at 1 under and with the likely cut appearing to be 3 under, he needed to get things back on track.

A birdie at his 9th hole allowed him to creep closer but Paul had to wait until his very last hole before he was assured of staying in the event.

That came at the par five 9th (Paul started on the 10th) and he lived to fight another day.
