A week back in Dallas and the prospect of playing a home game this week at the HP Byron Nelson has Nathan in better spirits than was the case at the recent Players Championship.

Frustration had been setting during events in recent weeks but a combination of the prospect of playing the next two weeks within close proximity to his home at Craig Ranch in Dallas have Nathan feeling  a little better about things.

"I did not do a lot last week - just hung out at home," said Nathan on Monday evening. "I played in a pro am deal at Craig Ranch on Saturday which was good fun."

"I'm looking forward to getting out there this week. I like weeks where we get to stay at home so hopefully I can start playing some good golf. I will play this week then next weeks Colonial Invitational then the Memorial and will also play the US Open qualifying in Memphis the Monday after the Memorial but not yet sure if I will play the Memphis event."

Nathan has made the cut in each of the four times he has played this week's event and although he has not contended as such he has put together several good rounds on the TPC Las Colinas layout.
