2023 European Open | FPO R1F9 | Hansen, Gannon, Saarinen, Salonen | Jomez Disc Golf
The 2023 European Open on Disc Golf is featured in this round one FPO feature card from the front nine at the Beast course in Nokia, Finland. Presented by discMania, the event showcases some of the top players in the sport, including Ella Hansen and Silvana Sarnin. The course, known for its challenging terrain and obstacles, has undergone changes this year to make it slightly more accessible. Players are expected to face a few strokes easier course due to these modifications, but still need to contend with the unique layout and special rules in place. The event is a major tournament, with Hansen's strong stats in birdie rate and distance making her a top contender. Sarnin, the number one Euro tour ranking player, also looks poised to take home the win. The video provides an overview of the course, players, and upcoming hole-by-hole coverage of the front nine.
Watch top FPO players like Valarie "Val" Johnston-Mink, Paula Saarinen, and Kristin Tantaus compete in Round 1 of the European Open on JomezPro!
