Finns leading in Mexico and Kenya... full scoreboard rd2 TEE TIMES

 PGA Tour : Mexico Open at Vidanta Leaderboard  Tee Times

Recently I've been blowing my bugle for the state of Canadian men's pro golf with 8 on The PGA Tour and others like Jared du Toit doing well in Asia and all over the world

Then led by the Hojgaard twins Nicolai and Rasmus along with Masters bound Thorbjorn Olesen more than half a dozen Danes are making selection of their Olympic team difficult for captain Thomas Bjorn.

This week so far its the Finns who are shining with Sami Valimaki -10 currently leading the Mexico Open and his countryman Tapio Pulkkanen T1 in Kenya at the Magical Kenya Open. 

Others like Mikko Ilonen, Kalle Samooja, Matilda Kastren, Sanna Nuutinen amongst others have represented their country at the Olympics.

Such is the state of International golf, a long way from Gary Player being described as the first foreigner to win the Masters in 1961, the first of his three at Augusta.
