Estonia's Alutaguse Open: Tight Scores and Sweltering Conditions

The scorching Estonian sun bore down on the players competing in the Alutaguse Open disc golf tournament today. With temperatures soaring to a high of 29 degrees Celsius and humidity levels making the air feel even more oppressive, the conditions were far from ideal for the athletes battling it out on the course.

Despite the challenging weather, Henar Ruudna put himself in contention to break the course record at Alutaguse during round two. However, his chances slipped away as he ended up with a bogey on the final hole, leaving him just one throw off the record at six-under-par.

The second-round scores were incredibly tight, resulting in little movement within the MPO field. Thomas Gilbert continues to lead the way, having maintained his position at 15-under par throughout the tournament. He is closely followed by Tuomas Hyytiäinen and Mauri Villmann, who both sit just one stroke behind him at 14-under.

On the FPO side of the competition, Kristi Unt remains in pole position as she aims to complete a wire-to-wire victory. With her current lead of two-over-par for the tournament, she will be looking to maintain her momentum and see off the challenge from Eleri Pastak, who is sitting just three throws back at five-over-par.

The remainder of the field, including Maria Liivamägi in fourth place, are all within four throws of the top spot. With such a tight competition on their hands, it promises to be an exciting conclusion to the Alutaguse Open tournament on Sunday.

The players will face one final round on the course before the results are announced, and fans can follow along with live scores on PDGAlive.com for all the action.
