After the first round, Eveliina Salonen is in second place with a score of -5. The leading group is completed by Missy Gannon from the United States (-4) and Silva Saarinen (-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eveliina Salonen played an impressive round, but Tattar’s -9 round score is one of the best of the year in the women’s division. Competitors will have their work cut out for them if they want to challenge the Estonian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MPO’s opening round of the European Open was accompanied with rainy weather. The first day was dominated by American players \u2013 the second round’s video cards will feature only Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leading the competition after the opening round are Chris Dickerson and Randon Latta, both with a score of -7. Latta is a real surprise at the top \u2013 he was able to play his round in dry conditions as he finished before the heavy afternoon rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rounding out the lead card are Andrew Miranda (-6) and Paul McBeth (-5), who is hunting for his sixth European Open victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ”The Tampere disc golf center suits me very well,” Paul McBeth told Frisbeegolfmedia after his round. ”I played really well today. I just made some mistakes on the open fairways. I only managed to play one practice round here, which impacted my game. Tomorrow my goal is to record a score twice as good.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the Finns, the opening round went reasonably well. Niklas Anttila, V\u00e4in\u00f6 M\u00e4kel\u00e4, and Teemu Talikainen are all at -3. With a good performance, the trio can bring themselves back into contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ”There were quite a lot of things happening. Initially, the weather was bad, but then I played quite well,” Niklas Anttila commented on his round to Frisbeegolfmedia. ”After that, I had grip issues \u2013 I couldn’t get a good hold on the disc. Then the last few holes were pretty quiet after that. Nevertheless, I’m in the game.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second round will take place on Friday in Tampere Disc Golf Center. The Lead Card tees off at 3:30 PM.
