Wednesday 1 June - Chattanooga Classic
We arrived here on Tuesday and I have been working hard on the range plus played a practice round. I have an "late-early", meaning I am playing on Thursday afternoon and then on Friday morning. There is no advantage or disadvantage as far as I am concerned, you just go and play and sometimes you get lucky with the weather and most of the time it makes no odds. After making a couple of top 40s on the PGA TOUR, it wil be good to make a cut on the Nationwide Tour and work on my ranking on this Tour. Believe me the quality of golf out here is extremely good! I'll catch up with you later in the week, Bye for now, Per

Sunday 5 June - Chattanooga Classic 68, 74
Sorry about the delay updating the site - I have been running around and not had the chance to get to my computer or email! I missed the cut in Chattanooga, mainly through a disappointing 2nd round 74, following my opening 68. I am making cuts on the PGA TOUR, but struggling to make one out here on the Naionwide Tour. It shows the strength of depth on Tour. I will get back to you from the LaSalle Open. We will travel up there on Tuesday, Bye for now, Per

Wednesday 8 June - LaSalle Bank Open
This is a terrific golf course and one that will produce higher scores than you normally see on the Nationwide Tour. I am a player that generally does well when par is meaningful. Those -25 scores are not for me. I like to grind it out! We arrived here on Tuesday and are having a good time in great weather. I have an afternoon tee time on Thursday. I will get back to you after the round as I have my computer with me this week! Bye for now, Per

Thursday 9 June - LaSalle Bank Open - 69 (-2)
A solid days play at The Glen Club. I started from the 10th and hit fairways and greens all day. I was out in 1 under with a birdie on 16 from a foot. I had a number of other makeable chances but the putter was a little cool today. Turning for home, I made birdies on 1 and 5 but gave one back on the par4 5th. All in all a good day and this puts me in the top 30 going into Fridays round. I have still to make a cut on the Nationwide Tour - this is a good place to start with the biggest purse of the year. I am only 4 off the pace and another score in the 60s should move me up the board. Catch up after the round, Per

Friday 10 June - LaSalle Bank Open - 72 (+1)
A really mixed day with 4 birdies, 5 bogeys and 9 pars. Heading up the 18th I thought I needed birdie to make the cut and I hit a couple of good shots to set birdie up on the par 5. As it turned out I had one to spare. I finally made a cut on the Nationwide Tour! It's a good cut to make with the biggest purse and now I can focus on a couple of really good rounds at the weekend and move up the board. The field is tightly bunched, so anything is possible. I am off early from the 10th tee and you can follow the scoring on PGATOUR.com. Catch up later, Per

Saturday/Sunday 11/12 June - LaSalle Bank Open - 78 (+7), 66 (-5)
What a couple of days it has been! After making the cut I was looking forward to a good day on Saturday - not one in which I didn't make a birdie all day - nothing went my way and it was one of those days when the harder I tried the worse it got. I was very proud of my play on Sunday. It would have been very easy to thrown in the towel, as I was in last place and just go though the motions. Thats not me! I tried my heart out and put together a 66 to move back up the field and make about $500 more than last place. Playing for pride is a big thing and I went the whole of Sunday with out a bogey! I am now taking a short break to Sweden to see my family. I have played 6 of the last 7 weeks and need some time away from the golf course - catch up soon, Per
