Kaidi Allsalu comes close to disc golf victory in Copenhagen

Estonian disc golfer Kaidi Allsalu was very close to winning the stage of the professional tour (DGPT) held in Copenhagen, losing to the tour's number one Eveliina Salonen only by extra throws.
While Kristin Tattar may be Estonia's most well-known disc golfer, her compatriot Kaidi Allsalu put in a strong performance in finishing second in the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) tour event in Copenhagen, Denmark, only missing out on victory after tie-break throws.
Allsalu led in Copenhagen after both the first and second days, but Salonen caught up with her on the final day. The Finn finished with an eagle (two under par) on the 18th hole, which prompted a tie-break situation.
