Valimaki, Simonsen share 1st-round lead at Thailand Classic
CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) — Sami Valimaki of Finland carded a bogey-free 8-under 64 Thursday to share the lead with Martin Simonsen of Denmark after the opening round of the Thailand Classic. Coming off a second-place finish in the Singapore Classic, where he finished one stroke behind Ockie Strydom of South Africa on Sunday, the 24-year-old Valimaki made five birdies on the front nine — including on his opening three holes — before picking up three more after the turn.
