The 2021 Helsinki Open Disc Golf Pro Tour is the first stop of the tour, taking place in Tali, Finland. Gatekeeper Media brings you coverage of this event, sponsored by Natural Born Disc Golfer. Hosts Mitch Phillips and Hayden Ricard from the Parked Podcast provide English commentary on the action. Yesi Niemenen, sponsored by Dynamic Discs, impressed with his scorecard after a hot round, leading the pack. Tuomas Otio shot a minus 7 with just two bogeys in the front nine, while Villa Ojas is close behind at minus 6. Tuomas Utiainen rounds out the card, shooting minus 6 as well.
