Sydney - December 4, 2010: Following another solid round of five-under par at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney, Victorian Geoff Ogilvy is one round away from capturing his second Australian title.
Extending his lead over the rest of the field, Ogilvy leads the Australian Open presented by Century 21 by five shots. He leads over Matt Jones (71) in second , while Greg Chalmers (66) and Alistair Presnell (67) are a further shot back in equal third at 10-under.
2006 Australian Open champion John Senden (70) is lurking in equal 5th at nine-under alongside Matthew Griffin (72), while American David Oh (67) and Bronson La’Cassie (68) share seventh at eight-under.
But with only 18 holes of play left in the 2010 Australian Open presented by Century 21, the tournament which is co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the PGA of Australasia looks to be firmly in the hands of Ogilvy.
Trading birdies with his playing partner for the duration of the front nine, it wasn’t until Jones bogeyed the seventh that Ogilvy looked to have the tournament firmly in his control.
Ogilvy’s game couldn’t be faulted until the final hole of the day when the World Number 43 missed the 18th green on approach to finish with the only bogey of his round.
“It’s never nice to finish like that no matter what you shoot,” said Ogilvy after his round, although it didn’t take him long to look at the positives.“I feel I played well and made the most of the day.”
“I’ve been blessed so far- I haven’t had to hit a shot in the rain.”
Having captured the Australian PGA Championship in 2008 tomorrow Ogilvy will look to claim his second PGA Tour of Australasia title and his first on OneAsia.
“It will be hard not to think about it," he said. "The Australian Open in general has a pretty impressive honour roll…so it would be a nice one to get.”
Korean Tour regular David Oh of USA enjoyed a bogey-free round finishing with a three-under 67 to tie seventh with Australia's Bronson La'cassie. He birdied five-times on the front nine, with a short game featuring a 12-foot putt on the ninth hole and a 40-foot putt on the twelfth.
"There's something special about Australia for me. I feel really good and relaxed and seem to play well here," he said, referring to his performance in last year's Australian Open where he shared a joint fifth after the third round.
"The Australian Open has a great tournament feel and I was having fun out there so I really wasn't thinking too much until I sunk the 12-foot birdie on the ninth. That was a pleasant surprise and I started to look at the scoreboard a bit, which is probably why I didn't do as well on the back nine.
"I also hit the ball left in the trees on 12 but I managed to make a 35-40 foot par there so I really got away with that one. My short game felt solid."
Fellow American-Korean John Huh carded a 69 for the day to tie 17th with Australians Rohan Blizzard, Michael Campbell, Peter Senior and Steven Bowditch.
The Australian Open presented by Century 21 is the penultimate tournament on both the PGA Tour of Australasia and OneAsia and is being played at The Lakes Golf Club (par 72) from Thursday 2nd - Sunday 5th December 2010.

Refreshed Ogilvy Leads Australian Open
Sydney - December 3, 2010: Victorian Geoff Ogilvy will take a one shot lead into the third round of the 2010 Australian Open presented by Century 21 after a stunning performance at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney today.
Out early in the morning field Ogilvy made the most of the perfect conditions sinking seven birdies on his way to the outright lead for the event co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia and OneAsia.
At the halfway mark Ogilvy leads at 11-under, only one shot ahead of fellow US Tour player Matt Jones who shot an incredible round of eight-under in tough afternoon conditions.
Matt Griffin is a further shot back at nine-under while American Dudley Hart shares fourth position with 2006 Australian Open Champion John Senden.
In the media centre for this first time this week, a refreshed Ogilvy attributed his form to some much needed time off over the last two months back in his home town of Melbourne.
“I am much happier with (my game) this time than I was this time last year. I was pretty over it this time last year. This was my sixth tournament in seven weeks last year,” said an honest Ogilvy who finished outside of the top 30 in the 2009 Australian Open.
“I’m pretty happy with what I have done. I had a really good time away from the game. I have practised pretty hard for a month, starting the week before the Masters. It has been nice to be in Melbourne for two full months.”
Teeing off the 10th hole alongside defending champion Adam Scott and China’s No. 1 player Liang Wenchong, Ogilvy’s day started slowly before holing three consecutive birdies from the 13th.
With two more birdies on 17 and 18 Ogilvy turned at five-under through his first nine holes.
As the wind started to increase in the afternoon Ogilvy sank two more birdie putts on 3 and 8 finishing the morning field in the clear lead leaving it up to the afternoon field to chase down his score.
“It’s a tournament we all want to win as Australians,” said Ogilvy.
“I played really well for the score I had today. If I keep playing like that I’m sure I’ll be there or thereabouts.”
Liang became the joint-top Asian in the field after a bogey-free 68 put him two-under, level with Thailand's Panuphol Pittayarat (72) as well as Korean Tour player John Huh (71) of the USA.
Despite fatigue and a nagging wrist injury that has bothered Liang for several months, the three-time OneAsia winner is still gunning for a good result this week.
"My focus today was not on a low score but performing to my best ability," Liang said. "I am playing with many great players this week so it is a chance to learn from them and to improve myself."
Geoff’s other playing partner Scott fought back to ensure he will be in contention for back to back titles, the Queenslander shooting seven-under to finish day two in a tie for 16th at three-under.
Yuan Hao, China’s biggest hitter, also made the cut after shooting a 71 to lie even-par.
Of the amateurs in the field English import Tom Lewis is faring the best and currently sits at two-under after an even round.
A total of 64 players made the cut at one-over par. For the full Round 2 leaderboard click here.
Play will get underway from 7:51am tomorrow, Saturday morning with Ogilvy teeing off in the final group of the day alongside Jones and Griffin.

Griffin Marches To Round 1 Lead At The Australian Open
Sydney - December 2, 2010: Victorian Matthew Griffin made the most of the morning conditions to fire a bogey-free 7-under par 65 to take the lead following the opening round of the Australian Open presented by Century 21 at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney.
Starting on the first tee, Griffin birdied the second hole before completing three birdies in a row between the sixth and eighth holes. Birdies on the 13th, 14th and 17th completed the 65 and a clean slate.
“No blemishes. That does not happen too often,” Griffin said.
“Almost the most pleasing thing is not to have a bogey. I was standing over a three-footer at the last and telling myself to make sure I got it.”
Griffin has played across the Asia-Pacific on OneAsia this year and is hoping for his first big win at the AU$1.5 million (approximately US$1.48 million) event, which is co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the PGA Tour of Australasia.
"This has definitely been my best round on OneAsia so far," he said. "There are a lot of top quality players to beat this week but if I play four rounds like today, I think we'll be right there on Sunday."
2006 champion John Senden holds second place following an impressive 6-under par 66 as the wind picked up in the afternoon.
The Queenslander said he was pleased with his position.
“I had a good day. My preparation has been good and I feel like I’ve been playing well going into this event so want to continue that.”
Alistair Presnell, who in contention early at the JBWere Masters, is in third place at five-under par.
“I feel a lot better about my game this week. At the Masters I was not overly comfortable with it. I was thinking that if I made the cut, the week would be fine. This week I have done some work with my coach and have had a couple of weeks’ break,” Presnell said.
Nine players are tied in fourth place at 4-under par including Geoff Ogilvy, Stuart Appleby, Peter Senior, Rod Pampling and Marc Leishman.
Chinese Taipei's Yeh Weitze shot a satisfying first round this morning, finishing 69 at three-under par alongside two time Major champion John Daly and Aussies Greg Chalmers and Steve Collins. The 2006 Sega Sammy Cup star has played most of his golf in Japan this year and the Australian Open marks his first-time in Australia.
"I was concerned about the unfamiliarity of the environment but my performance has surprised me," Yeh said. "I did not expect to do as well as I did this morning. Hopefully, I can be in contention this weekend."
Other promising Asian players include Korea's Bang Doo-hwan and Thailand's Panuphol Pittayarat who have tied for 18th at two-under 70 at the end this round.

Unwavering Liang Chases OneAsia Order Of Merit Down Under
Sydney - November 30, 2010: China's No. 1 Liang Wenchong continues his Order of Merit chase as he heads Down Under for the Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola, co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the PGA Tour of Australasia this week.
Liang, the highest-ranked Chinese player in the world, is OneAsia's most successful player with three championship victories to his name. He was OneAsia's first Chinese champion when he won last year's Midea China Classic, and has triumphed twice this season at the Luxehills Chengdu Open - OneAsia's 2010 season opener - as well as the Thailand Open.
Currently second on OneAsia's Order of Merit with winnings of US$520,200.00, the determined 31-year-old is confident of putting up a good fight at both The Lakes and the Hyatt Regency Coolum, in order to overtake Korea's Y.E. Yang who took the lead after winning the Kolon Korea Open in October.
Liang has had a frenzied globetrotting season, playing in Europe, the United States, as well as all over Asia with seven top ten finishes on the PGA Tour, Japan Tour and OneAsia.
His performance at the US PGA Championship in August boosted his confidence, when he finished eighth in an elite field after shooting a course record eight-under-par 64 in the third round.
"I am looking forward to playing my best at these tournaments. It is coming to the end of the season so I've been feeling a bit tired. But I hope I will be able to cope with the mental challenge," said Liang.
He added, "And as for the OneAsia Order of Merit, I had set my sights on it before and I will try my best to win it."
The Australian Open will be played at The Lakes in Sydney from December 2 to 5, offering a prize purse of AU$1.5 million (approximately US$1.48 million).
The 2010 Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola will be played at the Hyatt Regency Coolum on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast from December 9-12, 2010.
It will be the final tournament on both the PGA Tour of Australasia and OneAsia, with players competing for a total prize purse of AU$1.5 million (approximately US$1.48 million).
The tournament will be showcased on OneAsia's television platform with live coverage for four hours a day across all four tournament days, and broadcast to over 260 million homes in more than 40 countries.
Full coverage of both events will be available domestically on Network Ten, as well as internationally on ESPN Star Sports, Jupiter Golf Network, SBS Golf Channel, Fox International, Sky Sports NZ, ESPN3 & America One in the USA, ViaSat & Bloomberg Television among others in Europe.
