European Open Drama Unfolds on Day 3 with Record-Breaking Performances

The third round of the European Open was expected to be a closely contested battle between Kristin Tattar and Eveliina Salonen in the FPO division. However, the stage was set for an upset as Tattar played one of her worst rounds in five years. Despite taking only one birdie at The Beast, she finished with an uncharacteristic +8 score.

This unexpected turn of events allowed Salonen to take advantage and play a steady round in even par, securing a three-stroke cushion over Silva Saarinen. Saarinen had earlier posted an impressive -5 for the round, bringing her total to -6 and second place overall. Kaidi Allsalu and Missy Gannon maintained their position at T4 with matching even-par scores ahead of the final round.

Meanwhile, in the MPO division, the morning session had been delayed by yesterday's weather, but it didn't slow down Gannon Buhr as he went on to set the course record at -9. The American golfer continued his blistering pace in the afternoon round, carding a stunning -12 score to take a three-stroke lead over Paul McBeth.

McBeth, known for his success at this course, is currently second with 21 strokes under par. Ricky Wysocki sits in third place after an impressive -10 performance in R3, while Niklas Anttila and Chris Dickerson are tied for fourth in the MPO division. As the final round approaches, fans can expect an exciting day of disc golf, given the unpredictable nature of this year's European Open.
