PDGA Euro Tour #4 - Heatland Open | Professional Disc Golf Association

The 2022 Heatland Open, sponsored by Kastaplast and part of the PDGA Euro Tour, came down to the wire in its final round at Kalhyttans DiscGolfBana in Filipstad, Sweden. The women's field was particularly electrifying, with multiple lead changes throughout the day.

Amanda Lennartsson, a Swedish player who first competed in a PDGA-sanctioned tournament in 2021, emerged victorious after carding a crucial birdie on the 54th hole (18th hole) of the weekend. This remarkable turn of events capped off an incredibly eventful day at Kalhyttans DiscGolfBana.

The women's competition had been a closely contested battle throughout the tournament. Sofie Björlycke, the reigning Swedish champion in both FPO and FP40 divisions, entered Sunday with a two-stroke lead but faced stiff competition from Anniken Steen, who had won on the PDGA Euro Tour just a week prior.

In the end, Lennartsson's determination paid off. She grabbed three birdies down the stretch and sealed her second overall win and first on the EuroTour by sinking a circle two putt for par on the final hole. This impressive performance earned her a €2,000 payout.

Björlycke finished second, just one stroke behind Lennartsson with a plus-7 total score. Steen, who had a hot round on Sunday and erased a four-stroke deficit early in the day, claimed a podium finish with a plus-8 total.

The men's competition saw a thrilling performance from 16-year-old Elias Luukkonen, who recorded an impressive birdie-free final round of 52. This score tied the best weekend result at Kalhyttans DiscGolfBana and ultimately led him to a four-stroke win over Håkon Kveseth.

Luukkonen and fellow young player Pekka Hyvönen entered the final round tied, but Luukkonen's clean front nine set the tone for his victory. He added an eagle on the 10th hole, followed by back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 to secure his first-place finish.

Hyvönen finished third, five strokes behind Luukkonen at 17-under par. Kveseth rounded out the top three with a solid performance, securing second place with five birdies over his final seven holes.

The Heatland Open will be remembered for its exciting finishes and exceptional play from both the men's and women's fields. The PDGA Euro Tour continues on June 17-19 with the 9 Hills Open in Latvia and June 23-25 with the Nokia Open, open to all divisions.
