Date Published
The European Disc Golf Festival has reached its climax at the Tallinn Song Contest Grounds in Estonia, with an electric atmosphere drawing in over 2000 spectators during working hours yesterday. The specially designed course has been wowing onlookers with its two spectacular holes, providing a thrilling experience for all involved.
In the FPO (Female Pro) division, Heidi Laine got off to a rocky start with a double bogey on hole one, but quickly regained momentum after a solid run of birdies. She finished her round an impressive -9, boasting a 1028 round rating and catapulting herself into first place. Fellow Finn Eveliina Salonen is hot on her heels, just two strokes behind the leader after a stellar round of -7 with a 1011 rating.
Local favorites Kaidi Allsalu and Keiti Tätte put up impressive scores, finishing in -5 and -4 respectively to secure spots on the lead card for tomorrow. Estonian spectators will be cheering them on as they face near-perfect scoring conditions, predicted by forecasters for the next day of competition. A remarkable six Estonians have made it into the Top 10, with Kristin Tattar's even par round perhaps hinting at a potential comeback to watch out for.
Meanwhile, in the MPO (Male Pro) division, James Proctor initially held the top spot after completing his round at -10, but Ricky Wysocki stunned the competition with an incredible course record of -16. Wysocki, wearing the Estonian shirt, made short work of the front nine, taking birdies on all holes before slowing down slightly towards the end of his round. He finished with a 1119-rated round and will start tomorrow's competition with a commanding six-stroke lead.
Paul McBeth and Calvin Heimburg sit in fifth place at -9, just one stroke off the lead card, while nine players trail closely behind them at -8, tied for seventh place. A total of 15 players occupy the Top 10, setting up an intriguing second day of competition as they vie for dominance.
