Matt Parziale(-6) has missed the last five cuts after he had cashed in his first two events on the Hooters Winter Tour and after weeks of frustration, Matt got himself back on track this week with a top 20 finish. Parziale shot 68 in round one, 69 in round two and owned the back 9 as he carded 31 (4 birdies and an eagle) on Tuesday and a 32 (5 birdies on Wednesday). Today's 73(+1) was a different story for Matt as he stumbled down the stretch making bogey on three of his last four holes. Although that hiccup may have likely knocked Matt out of the top 10 this week, finally breaking the slump is the positive he should work off of going into next week.

Michael Welch(-5) cashed in this weeks event and is currently 18th on the money list.  Rob Oppenheim (12th) did not play this week and Jim Renner missed the cut this week and fell from 4th to 9th in the Winter series Tour.
