Australia's Scott Hend shot a six-under-par 66 to grab a share of the lead after the second round of the Fiji International on Friday.

And the 44-year-old then told the media he is targeting a place at the Presidents Cup which gets underway at Liberty Golf Club, New Jersey from Sept 28-Oct 1.

Hend, who missed the cut at the US PGA Championship, will need a captain's pick from Nick Price if he is to represent the International team against the United States.

"There is nothing more I would like than to be on a Presidents Cup team this year," he said on Friday.

"With that in mind, there are no two ways about it, I have to perform, if I don’t perform I won’t get picked.

"There is nothing to hide, there is nothing to be scared about, I want to play in a Presidents Cup and I need to perform."

Hend is in a four-way tie on seven-under with New Zealand's overnight leader Daniel Pearce, South Australian Jason Norris and Malaysia's Gavin Green at the Natadola Bay Golf Course.

Local favourite and former world number one Vijay Singh carded an even-par 72 to remain one under par for the tournament.
