2025 PDGA Pro Worlds | FPO R1B9 | Salonen, Saarinen, Burge, Turton | Jomez Disc Golf
The 2025 PDGA Pro Worlds are underway at the historic course in Nokia, Finland. Erica Stinchcom and Madison Walker bring viewers into the back nine of Round One, where top players like Silva Sarin and Eveina Salonen face off. The Finnish terrain presents unique challenges, particularly around hole 10's par-4 656 ft stretch over a soccer field. Players must carefully navigate obstacles such as hay bales, planters, and a fence on the left side of the fairway. Silva's aggressive shot choice leads to an opportunity for birdie, while Eveina takes a more conservative approach, ultimately finding trouble in the OB. Watch as these top players tackle the course, which is steeped in history and features legendary light poles that have seen their fair share of disc golf drama.

Hello and welcome to the back nine of round one of the 2025 PDGA Professional World Championships presented by Disc Mania. We are in Nokia, Finland at the beast. I'm Erica Stinchcom. >> I'm Madison Walker. We're your two hockeys. >> Honk. Happy to be here in Finland playing this historic course. More historic for Mo than FPO, but it's got a long-standing history. It's my first time here. We're watching Silva Sarin and Rachel Turtton, Cadence Burge, and Eveina Solinan attack this course. Silva defending a major after winning last week at the European Disc Golf Festival. Eveina defending her world title here in her home country of Finland. She's around from around this area as well. So, she's playing on her home courses. Talk about pressure. Let's start things out with hole 10. Yeah, it's a par4 656 ft going over the soccer field here. The left side OB really comes into play if you're not careful trying to bite off too much around the corner or just hisering out a bit too much. So, you want to kind of shoot to the right off the tea. Second shot. It depends on how aggressive you want to get. If you want to attack for birdie, you can, but you can see it's a very narrow path to get there. Some hay bales, some planters, a fence on the left. Uh, if you're out of position, you're usually playing this one for bar. >> And those legendary light poles. We all have seen >> disc come into contact with those things. >> We've seen some stuff out here. >> We have. Man, I'm loving the little hole preview music. >> Yeah, right. It is really nice. I hope you guys are enjoying it as well. >> Makes me want to nap in a sunbeam. >> Yeah, my eyelids started drooping a little bit. >> Silva overturning her shot to the right. You can see she wasn't happy with it right out of her hand. It's got to be a par from there. This is a hole that a lot of competitors aren't trying to get up and down for birdie. Uh looks like Eveina was trying to do just that. She's going to find OB deep. That's not a problem that many players are running into here. I would say it's about 360 to get to that OB line...
