 Nathan has finished 36th at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, his final 36 holes of four under par moving him from the cutline on Saturday morning to 36th on the demanding Turning Stone layout.
Nathan's final round was heading in the wrong direction until three consecutive birdies from the 12th finished off what had been a good weekend's work. There were some encouraging signs with Nathan's ball striking for much of the week and he heads to this coming week's Valero Texas Open feeling better about his game than had been the case in the last few weeks.
Nathan has a Make-A-Wish charity day at his home course at Craig Ranch in Dallas this Monday before he heads south to San Antonio.

 Nathan faces a long wait at the Turning Stone Resort Championship as 25 or so players will return to the Atunyote Golf Club's layout on Saturday morning to complete their second rounds.
Nathan is currently in 68th position after rounds fo 73 and 75 and with the top 70 and ties getting through to play the final 36 holes, then he will need to wait until tomorow morning to discover his fate.
A poor finish to his opening nine holes today, threatened to cost Nathan a chance of playing the weekend - and it still might - but a late recovery with two birdies in his last six holes might just be good enough to see him through.
It ws not a good day on the greens todsy for Nathan but he played well enough from tee to green to keep himself in the mix.
