One-time major winner Geoff Ogilvy will be aiming to rediscover his mojo on Friday in a bid to make the cut at the Perth International.

Ogilvy shot a disappointing one-over-par 73 in his opening round at Lake Karrinyup, putting him in a tie for 102nd in the 144-man field.

Victorian journeyman John Wade and Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen lead the way at eight under, while West Australian Michael Sim, Scotland’s Peter Whiteford, South Korean Kim Sihwan and England’s Tom Lewis are equal third at six under.

Five-time European Tour winner Brett Rumford defied his recent poor form to shoot a five-under 67 on Thursday, while 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel is in the hunt to pounce at four under.

Like Ogilvy, defending champion Jin Jeong also faces a fight to make the cut after shooting par on Thursday.
