European Disc Golf Festival Heats Up as Top Players Emerge from Midway Point

The competition at the 2025 European Disc Golf Festival intensified significantly on Friday as players reached the midway point of the tournament. Isaac Robinson continued to assert his dominance, securing a three-stroke lead with an impressive performance that included an ace on the final hole for a 15-under, 1101-rated round.

Robinson's strong showing marked one of the most notable highlights of the day in the Men's Professional (MPO) division. Meanwhile, Calvin Heimburg and Gannon Buhr engaged in a spirited battle to climb the leaderboard, both finishing at 15-under and 14-under respectively to jump several spots in the rankings. Anthony Barela emerged as a new contender for second place after posting a 12-under round, moving into solo second with a cumulative score of 25-under.

What's more remarkable is that Robinson and Heimburg each achieved their first-ever 1100-rated rounds of their careers during this intense competition. With the tournament now at its halfway mark, these top players will be vying to maintain their positions through the remaining 36 holes.

Meanwhile, in the Women's Professional (FPO) division, there was a complete shake-up of the leaderboard. Missy Gannon reclaimed her position as leader after recording an impressive one-stroke lead. The new top contenders include Kristin Lätt, who catapulted 18 spots into a tie for second place with Cadence Burge following a scorching hot round of 6-under. Eveliina Salonen also surged eight positions to take the fourth spot in the lead card.

The remaining players in the running for second place are tied just one stroke behind Gannon, including Silva Saarinen and Keiti Tätte who both rose five spots. The competition is heating up as Estonia prepares for its first PDGA Major, with 36 holes yet to be played on the course.
