European Stars Return to US Disc Golf Scene with High Hopes

The highly anticipated return of top European disc golfers to the US has finally arrived, bringing with it a wave of excitement and anticipation among fans. Led by Eveliina Salonen and Henna Blomroos, the fourth and third highest-rated FPO players in the world respectively, this talented group is ready to shake up the competition and prove their skills on American soil.

Salonen, who last competed in the US at the 2020 Waco Annual Charity Open, has been training and competing with her European peers back home. Despite being away from the international stage for two years, she's confident about her game and eager to see how it stacks up against the best of the US. "I'm ready," she stated confidently ahead of the Disc Golf Pro Tour – Las Vegas Challenge.

Blomroos, who took down the 2020 European Disc Golf Championship with a convincing win over Estonia's Kristin Tattar, is also looking forward to facing off against her American rivals. Known for her impressive skills and competitive spirit, Blomroos has been praised by five-time PDGA World Champion Paige Pierce as one of her favorite players to watch throw.

However, it's not just the women who are making a big splash this season. Seppo Paju, a fan favorite from Europe, is back with a strong group of MPO players, many of whom have gained valuable experience competing in European events. According to Paju, these international stars are "ready to show what the best of European disc golf has to offer."

With their combined talent and determination, it's clear that this season will be one to watch for US disc golf fans. As Paju aptly put it, "I think they're just as good as most of these top American players. The only thing is that they must get consistent and comfortable with the feel of being on this tour." With their sights set high, it's likely that we'll see a major shift in the leader board this season.

The 2022 Las Vegas Challenge has officially kicked off, and fans can catch all the action live on the Disc Golf Network. It promises to be an exciting weekend filled with thrilling matches and surprises from both old and new faces. Don't miss out – tune in and witness the return of these exceptional European players as they take on the US disc golf scene!
