​ ​The European leg of the Disc Golf Pro Tour is showcasing a fresh crop of talented athletes, providing both US Touring Pros and DGN viewers with the opportunity to witness some of the most picturesque disc golf destinations in the world. The recent Turku Open in Finland was a highly competitive and entertaining event, on par with any US Tour event this year. Among the top 10 finishers were several new names, as well as two familiar Innova players who landed on the podium. Finnish superstars Eveliina Salonen and Henna Blomroos took 2nd and 3rd place respectively, impressing with their exceptional tee shots. #1 ranked Eveliina Salonen had a slow start in Turku, but quickly picked up momentum in the second round, scoring 4 birdies in the first 5 holes and finishing the day with a hot -8. Despite challenging conditions in the final round, Eveliina maintained her composure and secured 2nd place, just two strokes behind the leader. She dominated in Fairway Hits, C1 and C2 Hits in Regulation, and Strokes Gained Tee to Green, currently holding the 2nd spot in the 2024 Disc Golf Pro Tour World standings, less than 3 points behind 1st place.
