Nathan has made yet another cut, his 17th in 22 starts in his rookie season, and is at three under par for the tournament  at the John Deere Classic

An even par round of 71, with two birdies and two bogeys, was good enough to finish inside the two under par cut line and although he slipped from 26th to 57th he is still within striking distance of a good finish in the tournament.

Nathan opened his round by missing a very good chance for birdie at his first hole (the tenth) and that set the tone ot some extent for his putting for the remainder of the round. He created several good opportunities through the front nine which he missed although he did convert one from 11 feet at the his 7th hole.

At his tenth hole he made a ten footer for birdie but struggled through the next few holes and was forced to save par from bunkers on one or two occasions. 

At his 15th hole he hit a great tee shot and a good second to fifteen feet but three putted for bogey to slip back to three under which is where he would stay.
