The show that is the European Disc Golf Festival went out with a bang.
Estonia's first PDGA Major, held on the historic and cultural site of the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn, delivered electric finishes in both the MPO and FPO divisions. And historic ones too.
Calvin Heimburg and Silva Saarinen both became first-time Major winners in battles that came down to the very end — Heimburg finally adding a Major title to his name and Saarinen continuing her meteoric rise in her young career.
Kristin Lätt continued her rise to the top of the leaderboard and has a three-stroke lead in her home country's first PDGA Major. In MPO, things are even wilder as Gannon Buhr and Isaac Robinson enter the final lap around the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn, Estonia tied up.
Lätt finished with an 8-under round on Saturday — one off the hot round of 9-under from Ella Hansen, who jumped 16 spots into a tie for third with Valerie Mandujano — to grab her first lead of the weekend. She leads Silva Saarinen by three strokes and has a five-stroke cushion over Hansen and Mandujano.
Isaac Robinson added an exclamation point to keep his spot on top of the leaderboard and continue his knack for showing up in the biggest way at PDGA Majors.
The four-time Major champion exited the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn, Estonia with a three-stroke lead after walking off with an ace on the 18th for a 15-under, 1101-rated round.
The first PDGA Major held in Estonia arrived and that first card out on the Song Festival Grounds in the FPO field set the pace.
Like the host city Tallinn, Latvia's Sintija Klezberga made her Major debut and she made the most of it. Klezberga was the first clubhouse leader with an 8-under, 1020-rated round and, after a loaded field navigated the Rockstar track on the hallowed grounds, the opening round ended with the Latvia native on top of the leaderboard.
Just over a week ago, more than 100,000 Estonians gathered at the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn, Estonia, continuing a powerful tradition, awakening, and celebration that dates back to 1869.
