Paul has finished in a share of 13th position at the Athens Regional Foundation event in Bogart, Georgia and, while his mid round slump in today's final round of 71 cost him any chance of contending for higher honours, there were several positives to take out the week.

After a fast start to his final round Paul dropped three shots in five holes through the turn and eventually finished with a round of 71 but it was the improved quality of his ball striking that was of most encouragement to Paul. There were plenty of fairways hit and greens in regulation.

Paul now focuses his attention on this week's South Georgia Classic at the Kinderlou Forest Golf Club in Valdosta.
