Two-time Australian Open winner Aaron Baddeley will have the best of conditions when he chases leaders Peter Lonard and Jarrod Moseley in the second round of the Australian PGA Championship at Coolum.

Baddeley did exceptionally well to card a five under 67 on Thursday to be trailing Lonard and Moseley by two shots.

While the overnight leaders will be late starters, Baddeley will have the advantage of playing in the best conditions in the morning.

American star John Daly needs a super round to move through the field from 100th position to make the weekend cut after an opening round of 76.

Greg Norman will also be looking to move through the field after a scratchy opening round of 72.
