It was a battle until the last hole and more at the PDGA Euro Tour — Åland Open presented by Discmania!
Heidi Laine was keeping her lead throughout the last round, but Silva Saarinen never gave up and, with birdies on 15, 16, 17 and 18, she put a pressure on Heidi, who had an eagle putt, but missed and had to go to a tiebreaker with Silva.

Sensational!
PDGA Euro Tour stop number 7 on Åland Islands has been just that so far and nothing less.

If you are ever planning for a disc golf holiday, this must be on top of your list.
