O`Hern leads Masters by five

West Australian Nick O`Hern has opened up a five shot lead at the Australian Masters being played at Huntingdale after firing a 6 under 66 to lead by five strokes at the halfway mark.

O`Hern, who followed up his course record 8 under 64 opening round with a bogey free effort on Friday will return on the weekend searching for just his second tournament win, his first the 1999 Coolum Classic.

O'Hern said after his round, "If I keep playing the way I am I can still shoot two really good rounds."

"There's plenty of guys behind me (who) are going to shoot low on the weekend so I'm going to have to keep making birdies."

"The difference is, when I get the opportunity to make a putt, I'm knocking it in,"

"It was very solid again, I hit the ball pretty similar to yesterday. Not fantastic, but just in play and I kept making a few putts which was nice.

"Every time I got into strife I managed to get it up and down for par, which was only two or three times I think."

"I'll say the greens will firm up a bit more and get a bit quicker, they always do on the weekend, which means you'll have to take a bit more of a conservative approach."

"But today I made sure that when I did miss shots I was on the right side and I had uphill putts."
