"This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach"
Barack Obama
US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq

bullet Atwal 22nd, Jeev misses cut corner

Arjun Atwal had a sedate day with just one birdie and one bogey, both on back nine to finish with a 72 that saw him drop from tied seventh to tied 22nd at the end of 36 holes in the Valero Texas Open Saturday.

A late bogey on 16th saw Jeev Milkha Singh miss the cut by one shot in the rain-hit event, which will see 36 holes Sunday. Jeev was three-under with an eagle on par-5 12th and then found the bogey on 16th to miss the cut.

Jeev earlier had birdies on second, sixth and 11th and bogeys on fourth and tenth.

Atwal had a birdie on 10th and bogey on 13th.

Jimmy Walker and James Nitties got on a roll, and the soaked Valero Texas Open course dried out. Walker and Nitties shot 5-under 67s Saturday for a share of the lead at 7 under with Brett Wetterich (68) and Matt Jones (71) at TPC San Antonio, where the Oaks Course soaked up a drenching that will make for a 36-hole finish Sunday.
