Nathan created many chances on day three of the US Bank Championship but converted very few and with one round to play he is in a share of fifth place five behind the leader Corey Pavin.

A  birdie at the second from just two feet got the round under way but over the next ten holes he had seven opportunities from inside fifteen feet and converted just one. Nathan's second birdie of the day finally came at the twelfth when he made a four footer and then at the par five fifteenth was just short in two and moved to three under for the day and twelve under for the tournament.

Another good opportunity presented itself at the 17th but was missed but he managed to save par at the last after a wayward second shot to the par five.

Although five shots out of the lead, Nathan is just three out of second place and has a chance, with a low round tomorrow, to put pressure on those ahead.

Nathan will play in the third last group tomorrow with Jeff Slumana and Joey Sindelar.
