Frisbee golf: Eveliina Salonen wins her second world title

Eveliina Salonen won her second frisbee golf world championship on Sunday in Milford, United States. The Finnish player moved into the lead during the second round and kept it comfortably afterward.

Salonen said she played more consistently than during her previous world title. “I played this tournament much more evenly. It was quite inconsistent the last time I won. This time I could play more relaxed and trust myself,” she told the Finnish Frisbee Golf Association.

She rejected the suggestion that the US courses had been easy. Heavy rain made conditions difficult during the final round, and she said even a slightly inaccurate throw could have produced a score over par. Salonen credited her throwing and said she generally performs well at world championships because the courses tend to be more demanding.

Finland’s Silva Saarinen placed fifth, finishing 25 throws behind Salonen.

“

These were definitely difficult courses. If a throw had been even slightly off, it would have produced a score over par. My throwing worked especially well.
