After an impressive run of golf to start his season Aaron Baddeley looked on track for another good week when he opened with a 68 at the Phoenix Open.

But things went awry on day two for the 2007 champion, a second round 77 seeing him fall from the top 15 to outside the cut line.

Baddeley was one four Australians who failed to qualify for the weekend joining Cameron Smith, John Senden and Steven Bowditch.

Of the six who began the week only Geoff Ogilvy and Phoenix resident Matt Jones played all four rounds, Ogilvy finishing the best of the pair at even par for the week and T51.

Jones limped to a 3-over finish to be T60 after rounds of 69-72-74-72.

While far from the golf he is capable of, Ogilvy will take some heart from making his first cut of the new season after missing five straight weekends dating back to the Frys.com Open last October.

The 2006 US Open winner showed glimpses of his best stuff at the Australian Open in November where, despite striking the ball at least as well as anyone in the field, he struggled on the greens to finish T8.

Jones will also be frustrated with his play though he has made all three cuts since his return to the TOUR three weeks ago without yet finding his best form.
