Date Published

In a thrilling conclusion to the 2019 EuroTour season's strongest Open field, Håkon Kveseth emerged victorious at the Kokkedal Open in Denmark. The Norwegian disc golfer, rated 996, showcased his exceptional skills by carding a stunning 6-under par, bogey-free final nine holes. This impressive performance earned him a 37-under par 183 winning total, securing his second win of the season.
Kveseth's dominance was evident from the start, as he entered the nine-hole final with a commanding seven-stroke lead over the field. However, instead of cruising to victory, he chose to push himself even harder, producing an incredible hot round. This display of skill and determination left his competitors struggling to keep up.
Fellow Norwegian Knut Valen Håland took second place with a 30-under par 190, while Swedes Kristian Bengtsson and Henric Hagman tied for third with 28-under par 192s. Despite the strong competition, Kveseth's exceptional play made it clear that he was the force to be reckoned with at the Kokkedal Open.
Interestingly, this victory marked a milestone in Kveseth's disc golf career. As a two-time Norwegian National Champion javelin thrower, he has now solidified his position as one of Norway's top-rated disc golfers. His win also showcased his ability to adapt and perform under pressure, a skill that will undoubtedly serve him well in future competitions.
When asked about his approach to the game, Kveseth emphasized the importance of staying true to himself. He revealed that he had intentionally set no goals for the season, choosing instead to focus on enjoying the experience and letting results be a bonus. This refreshing attitude has clearly contributed to his success, allowing him to maintain a healthy balance between passion and performance.
In contrast, Swedes Hagman and Bengtsson faced a more challenging journey to the podium. Both players needed to produce exceptional rounds to secure their places in the top three. Hagman, who had struggled throughout the tournament, made an impressive comeback with two eagles on his final 15 holes. Bengtsson, meanwhile, adopted an aggressive mindset, birdieing all the scorable holes on the final nine and ultimately securing a share of third place thanks to an ace on the next-to-last hole.
As Kveseth prepares for the upcoming EuroTour #4 event, the Sula Open in Norway, it remains to be seen whether he will continue his winning streak. One thing is certain, however: this talented Norwegian disc golfer has undoubtedly cemented his position as a force to be reckoned with on the course.
