After three rounds of fierce competition at the European Disc Golf Festival 2025, several European players continue to hold strong positions on the leaderboard—some making massive moves on moving day.
Finland’s Niklas Anttila delivered another outstanding performance, shooting an 11-under to rise to T4 at -33 total, keeping the hope of a podium finish alive. Right behind him is Estonia’s Mauri Villmann, who carded a blazing 8-under and is now tied for 9th at -24, showing consistent excellence in his home country.
Nestori Tuhkanen from Finland jumped up the ranks with the best European round of the day—12 under par—landing him in a tie for 19th alongside German star Simon Lizotte.
Estonia continues to be well represented, with Albert Tamm, Maico Rimmel, Silver Lätt, and Ville Kivisilla all holding ground inside the top 72. While no European player currently leads the event, the battle for top European honors is heating up, and strong final round showings could still shake up the top 10.
