World No. 830 Peter Hedblom took a share of the lead heading into Day 2 at the ISPS Handa Perth International.

Hedblom, Korea’s Jin Jeong and Australian hopefuls James Nitties and Clint Rice each shot four under par on the opening day of play at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club in Australia.

Players from all over the world have congregated Down Under for the tournament, and each has his own agenda.

A second bogey of the day on the par-four 14th cooled his streak, but he responded impressively with a birdie on No. 15 to finish the day with a 68.

If he is to retain his tour card, he will need to lead from the front for the next three days. It's a tall order, but if his performance on Thursday is anything to go by, he can’t be ruled out just yet.



 

Dustin Johnson (-3)

The pre-tournament favourite impressed on Day 1 in Perth, finishing one stroke off the lead after carding a 69.
