26.08.2009 - Team USA takes home the President’s Cup again. Third time was not the charm for Team Europe despite many hoping for a change in reign of the President’s Cup this year. Team USA was again victorious and will take the Cup back home – this time with a stunning score of 27.5 against Europe’s 4.5. Team Captains David Feldberg (USA) and Hasse Tegebäck (Europe) agreed that the strength of the American players lies in their professionalism. Team USA played a solid round of 18 holes, whereas European players did not perform on their usual level. In 2010, Team USA will for the first time defend the President’s Cup on home ground, as the competition will be held in connection with the U.S. Disc Golf Championships. Players are excited to see the competition on a new continent, and Jussi Meresmaa is proud to export this part of Finnish and European disc golf culture to the most prestigious tournament in the world. European Open broke records during the President’s Cup, as the competition - despite the grey weather - was witnessed by the largest crowd ever in the history of the Cup.


The European Open 2009 will continue on Thursday with the first round starting at 9:00 AM.
