In a disappointing day for the Australians, Aaron Baddeley dropped 5 strokes to be 12 away from outright leader Peter Hanson (Sweden), tied for 38th. Geoff Ogilvy continued his consistent tournament with a -1 71 to accompany his 74 and 72. He finished the day 10 strokes from the lead, tied for 27th. The only other Australian remaining in the field is Adam Scott. He is one stroke behind Ogilvy in a tie for 32nd. John Sendon missed the cut by one stroke with 150 after his two rounds, as did amateur Bryden MacPherson on 153. Jason Day withdrew midway through the second round with a left leg injury.
