2026 Green Mountain Championship | FPO R3F9 | Scoggins, Salonen, Handley, Gannon | Jomez Disc Golf
The 2026 Green Mountain Championship moves to Fox Run Meadows for its final two rounds, marking a significant shift in course layout and strategy for the competitors. Presented by Disc Mania, this segment of the professional disc golf tournament features the top players navigating the notoriously tricky terrain of Smugglers Notch. The day’s action centers on Paige Pierce, the 2025 World Champion and current leader, who is looking to claim her first victory at this specific event after falling short in a one-hole playoff to Paige Pierce in the previous year. She is joined in the final group by world champions Evina Salonen from Finland, who has maintained a consistent putter record, along with Colin Handley and Missy Gannon. Fox Run Meadows presents unique challenges compared to the preceding Brewster holes, characterized by extensive out-of-bounds hazards that line both sides of the fairways. Players must contend with these tight margins while dealing with morning temperatures near 40 degrees. The video highlights critical moments on Hole 1, a 535-foot par 4 where drivers must avoid water or trees before attempting approach shots into a basket surrounded by OB circles. With the wind subsiding and conditions warming up, fans can expect intense competition as these elite athletes execute precise turnovers and forehands to secure their positions in the championship standings.

[music] Hello and welcome to moving day of the 2026 Green Mountain Championship presented by Disc Mania at Smugglers Notch. We're moving over to Fox Run Meadows today for the final two days of the event. I'm Madison Walker. >> I'm Erica Stingcom. We're the two hot geeks. >> Honk. Started out chilly this morning. Uh hopefully we're going to see some hot scores. The wind is down out here which is nice and it does warm up later. Unskan shooting eight down at Brewster yesterday to be leading the way. Two strokes over Eveina. Colin Hanley joining the car today. Missy Ganon hanging on to her spot after a hot front nine. Cooling off a bit on the back. Very different style of course today. Hole one is a par4. It's 535 ft. You have to throw over out of bounds off the T. There's out of bounds on the left and right side. And that's kind of the theme of this entire [music] course. Out of bounds everywhere, all the time, every single shot. Uh your second shot is a turnover shot or a forehand to this basket that it has OB inside the circle. First of many today. Uh birdieable distance-wise, but a little bit scary, especially this morning when it is 40°. >> Stepping up first from Los Angeles, California. She is currently our leader with a two-stroke lead. She's the 2025 world champion of disc golf. Let's make some noise for own stock. [cheering] [applause] >> This is one of the few events on hasn't won at this point. She was in a playoff for the victory last year. Lost in the one-hole playoff to Paige Pierce. I think she does play Brewster a bit better, but she's good at any course on tour. I like that shot shape. >> [applause] >> Next to T from Keralcala, Finland. She is the current and twotime world champion. Let's welcome Eveina Solomon. [applause and cheering] >> Eveina 95% circle 1x putting for the weekend so far. Uh not throwing the disc quite as clean yesterday. It's one of the few times we've ever seen Eveina mess up while throwing. This is her style, of course, though. [applause] >> All right, stepping up next from Grapevine, Texas. Let's give a warm welcome to Holland Hley. [applause and cheering] >> Talk about her style of force. Like Holland's about...
