Asian Tour Thailand Golf Championship leaderboard http://www.scoringsolutions.asia/golf/livescor.htm
Thailand's best known golfer, veteran Thongchai Jaidee is the host here this week and with scores of 73 67 72 -4 he is not going to win, but the number of big names who have made the trip to Chonburi at the Amata Springs CC in what is Thailand's rainy season is a mark of the respect with which he is held by his peers.
But minutes ago it was a much lesser known pro, France's Clement Sorbet who has added a 63 to yesterday's 66 for a -16 total, to shots clear of Jamie Donaldson who slipped to a 71, -14 total.
Clement Sordet is ranked 481, has been playing on the Challenge Tour and was the last international player invited to play, this is his first time in Thailand.
Now come the big names, defending champion Lee Westwood 71 68 63 -13, rookie of the year Byeonghun (Ben) An 69 67 68 -12, Sergio Garcia 66 69 70 -11, Martin Kaymer 68 65 72 -11. Bubba Watson is well back T34 71 70 72 -3 and is saying he just can't gauge the slower speed of the greens.
Another of the selling points for this event is that it is the last event of the year for guys the grab one of the 4 spots available in the 2016 Open Championship.
