SYDNEY (AP) — Geoff Ogilvy shot a 7-under 65 at The Lakes course to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds at the Australian Open on Friday.
Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion, had a 36-hole total of 11-under 133.
Australian Matt Jones shot 64 to sit one stroke back of Ogilvy, with first-round leader Matthew Griffin, also from Australia, another stroke back after a 70.
American Dudley Hart, making his first tournament start in 18 months following back surgery, shot 69 and was tied for fourth with Australians John Senden (71) and Paul Sheehan (67).
Ogilvy won the PGA Tour’s season-opening event in Hawaii before having a difficult year and falling to 43rd in the world rankings.
