The favorable weather conditions and a bustling gallery of spectators at Korvemaa set the stage for an unforgettable conclusion. Once again, the Estonian players showcased their dominance, with Teele Toomsalu and Mauri Villmann emerging as the victors, capturing the hearts of the crowd.
In the FPO division, Teele Toomsalu delivered an exceptional performance, displaying determination and skill throughout the final day. In a captivating finish on the last hole, Teele secured a well-deserved victory against tough competition, finishing with a total score of +2.

Meanwhile, the MPO division kept spectators on the edge of their seats with electrifying highlights and battles. Mauri Villmann dominated the field, delivering an awe-inspiring performance that left no doubt about his skills. With an impressive overall score of -32 and a scorching final round of -12, Mauri’s mastery of the course secured him the Estonian Open title, marking his second European Pro Tour win of the year. Ville Ahokas also displayed skill and consistency, securing a second-place finish with a total score of -26.
