Round 3 Highlights | FPO | 2026 PDGA Pro World Championships

Beneath the surface of Kent Lake lies the abandoned village of Kensington, a ghost town that was submerged in water as the world transformed around it. Now, bordering Kent Lake, the Black Locust Disc Golf Course about to write its final chapter of the week as we begin round three of the 2026 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by First Form. Lead card about to tee off Salonen, Gannon, Letomaki, and Burge. A lot of distance nor teeth to it besides the OB, but that elevated pin on an elevated slope makes a huge difference. Avelina is good for Burge. She grabs another stroke. 335, subtle turnover. Yulia, what a shape, Des. That was all of it. 39 Elite Series and Major Championships. And the putting world champion showing us why she won that title. Circle 2, bang for Don. Those are the highlights that are needed today. Roll back the Zuka replay. I love the anchored foot. Totally legal stepper continuation of the weight. Strong side the entire distance. Now, Forsh on the downhill. Push hyzer 4. Wide and straight forever. Such an exceptional play. The camera does a great job of following her flight. Some of the things that it misses is the nuances of how tight the line is. When I stood on that tee, this is such a skilled shot. She read it just perfectly with her disc choice and the way that the height on that disc did not go too high or too low. Just brilliant. On Wednesday, I was blown away how many people showed up. And yeah, I'm gonna have to stay up into the fairways because otherwise I won't be able to have a view of the players. And Evelina, it was tricky, guys. That was really crafty. Little backhand touch. It's just 279. A little bit downhill. Don. And a nice little kiss off the tree. A bullseye. And no, that's not Holland Handley. That is Addison Woodard on the fifth. This is such a pretty hole. It is just a classic old school hole in length. And the way it is just framed with the trees and the way the light funnels in there. Tee shot on three. Evelina throwing a control driver on this. And down to a fairway. TL3 that Ida's been talking about here on three. Really nice disc choice. It has great glide. You can hit it right. It can actually carry that because of the glide. Another dime for Ida. Now let the maki. A little higher. Nestles the cherry on top of the whipped cream. Nice and soft landing. She's three down. Currently solo second place. Gotta slow this one down. 279 slightly downhill. Flawless. Oh, pretty. There's our turnover. Beautiful pan fade. Shocked look on her face. Well, she can just keep surprising herself. So I don't have that same shock look. Missy trying to get on the board. Right side. And sticks it. Nice solve. We have not seen that right side play by the majority of our competitors. There it is again. Even a better adjustment. Having a late fade. It actually stood up and drifted a little bit more. Carrying that slope. Ida put this inside the bullseye last time she threw it. It's early, but it's got some turn and it's got just enough turn. This is tracking the bucket. It's going to get a forward skip. 22 feet left for a birdie. That TL3 has done work this week. Holland going to go with the backhand as well. Is it? Wow, that was such a good shot. Ida slowing down here. Short turnover 8th. Missy on the tee of 8. She's going to slide one up. Just over Ida's and that's a tap in. From Ida to an extremely experienced player. 2012 world champion Sarah Hocum. One of the best sidearm throwers of all time. Showing us why right there. Katrina Allen a two time. Beautiful birdie. Great world champions in our FPO division. Hocum really shaping the future of FPO divisional disc golf and women's in general of advocating for different tees and different pars. Katrina just with her ability to play at a high caliber. Both have put a real mark on the sport. I think she's going to be blind to the pin. Wow, look at this. Just when you think something, you know, you're going to get maybe two strokes on the leader. She just finds a way to make it happen. Take a look at this again. We're not going to see Evelina from here. We're just going to see a little circle pop out of the woods. Look at how much woods that she actually had to traverse to get out. Holland Hanley second shot on 11 climbing the hill. Yeah, climate did. Chance for just the third birdie of the day. And now Silva looking to get to six down total. Yes. And now Holland's birdie look on the challenging 11th. And she gets it. Puts it in her third in a row. She's not out of it if she can run a really hot back nine. We know 15 looms. Things are starting to heat up here on the leaderboard here at the world championship. Evelina and that's not even a distance driver. Hanley to the pinched off green here on 12. Very good play. Hanley working on three in a row right now looking for her fourth. Rebecca Don huge drive here on 12. Yeah, it's going to hit the ground right at the circle's edge. Just outside the bullseye and not skip at all. And then you'll see some on the dead grass. Just kind of slide like an ice rink. Evelina tough position. Patent pending. That needs to slow down. It's going to slide. It's straddling the line. It's a green flag. Evelina is 87 percent from C1. Sorry, 76 percent from C1x this tournament. Makes another one above her season average. It's been a fantastic stretch on the green as of late for her. Back stretch of black locust. Taking some numbers. Silva Sarnin though. Birdie from the strong side. Three down. Rebecca Don up ahead on 13's green. This is a birdie look. Okay, there it is. There's our birdie. Up to 14. Rebecca Don. She is playing fantastic disc golf right now and it's still going. Katrina Allen fairway shot of 15. Her second. Green flag. She is safe on the island. Katrina Allen for birdie on 15. She got it. Weatherman win. Now Allen. The only three birdies on the 15th. Averaging a 5.81, 51 percent double bogey or worse on this par four. Hanley going for the green. Sticks it. And Evelina the first player to 20 under. And is she ever going to give these ladies a break? Does as of right now? No, she is dialed in focused entire card. It's kind of falling off the horse except for her. Easy. Wow. Hammering it right now. Evelina's three shots better than her round one out here at black locust. Bogey free currently. Hanley for birdie. Okay. Holland making a charge. Gannon to the green. Sticks it. Oh my goodness. What a landing. Great redemption for Missy right there. He took a quad at eight yesterday on round one. A five shot improvement. If she can knock this putt down. Take a look at this again. Des. She took her eight with such stride yesterday. Talked about her errors and being aggressive. Still keeping with that aggressive plan. She said she's still trying for the birdie in her interview. Just nailed it. Took all round one's apprehensions and the travesty that happened. And just put it on the shelf. Birdie today. But Tamaki needs a spark. Oh my goodness. I had a little fear because that's her favorite disc. We've been seeing her throw it a lot. I just didn't want to see it go away for. Talk about a spark. Des. This has got to mean so much to a player who's been struggling the past few holes. Absolutely. And if it was the disc that I think it was right there. She is just puckering. Just like. Oh please. I need this disc for the rest of the tournament. Kittos. She's thinking. From parked for birdie. To the fourth bogey in a row for let Tamaki. She continues to dip. And Evelina. You heard her say it to Nate Perkins yesterday. Shots like that. That's normal for me. I'm not surprised. She loves them. She thrives in that position. Here's Evelina's play. She's going to go straight at it. And if you throw a drive like that. You can throw an approach like that. Dead straight at the pin. Evelina will be the second birdie of the tournament. Got it. Drops it in. Perfect pace. Big smile. Crowd loves it. Missy Gannon is pure class. Too close to miss. Evelina just the second birdie on hole 18. What a commanding performance through three rounds.
