Mexico Open PGA Tour Golf: European stars, Matt Wallace and Sami Valimaki were part of a four-way lead at the halfway stage of the PGA Tour's Mexico Open at Vidanta.

Wallace, who has won in as far-off places as India at the Hero Indian Open and Portugal, Denmark and Germany, also has a PGA Tour win in Corales Puntacana Championships in the Dominican Republic.

He followed an opening-round 66 with a six-under 65 on Friday at Vidanta Vallarta, moving him to 11-under alongside Sami Valimaki, Alvaro Ortiz and Jake Knapp. The leading Asian player was Carl Yuan (71-65) in T-9, while CT Pan (71-67) was in T-31.
