EuroTour and Disc Golf Pro Tour Arrive in Norway for PCS Open
Date Published
The European leg of the PDGA EuroTour and Disc Golf Pro Tour is heating up with the PCS Open presented by Innova set to take place in Vestnes, Norway from July 13-15. As the sixth stop on the tour, this event promises to be a thrilling encounter for both MPO and FPO players.
The Øverås course, affectionately known as Ragnarock due to its Norse mythology theme, has undergone some changes since last year's edition. The event will feature three rounds instead of four, all played at the Øverås course. The 8,764-foot par-62 layout for MPO players and 8,230-foot par-65 layout for FPO players offer a mix of challenging obstacles, including wooded holes and tight OB lines.
One of the standout features of the Øverås course is its iconic "Gates of Valhalla" hole. This epic tee shot allows players to take on a triple mando from a balcony, providing an unparalleled experience. The feature was enhanced in 2020 with the addition of gates, giving players more room and tempting them into attempting an ace run.
Last year's PCS Sula Open saw Anniken Steen emerge victorious in a closely contested final round. She held off Rachel Turton by two strokes to claim her second consecutive win at the event. The MPO field also witnessed a thrilling battle between Gregg Barsby and Jakub Semerád, with Barsby ultimately securing his first DGPT victory.
The PCS Open promises to be an exciting encounter, with many top players set to compete in both divisions. Fans can catch live coverage of the event through the Disc Golf Network (DGN), which provides post-produced coverage of select tournaments, exclusive disc golf shows, and more.
Here's a rundown of the tee times and round ratings for this weekend:
* Friday's FPO Feature Card: Anniken Steen, Eveliina Salonen, Jessica Weese, Kristin Tattar
* Friday's MPO Feature Card: Gregg Barsby, Calvin Heimburg, Eagle McMahon, Paul McBeth
The live broadcast will be simulcast on the DGPT YouTube channel for the first round only. Post-production coverage will also be available through the Disc Golf Network.
