Eagle McMahon wins Swedish Open, first DGPT title since 2022
Eagle McMahon closed out the Swedish Open at 26-under, his first DGPT win since 2022, and did it with a flawless 52-for-52 circle-one putting week.
Eagle McMahon put his name back at the top of the MPO field at the Swedish Open, finishing at 26-under to claim his first Disc Golf Pro Tour victory since the 2022 European Open. He started Championship Sunday with a one-stroke lead at Ymergårdens Discgolfcenter in Borås, Sweden, then held off late pressure from Calvin Heimburg and Ricky Wysocki to close out a win that felt more like a comeback than a routine stop on the calendar.
The final round was built on the kind of shotmaking that wins elite tournaments in Europe. McMahon stayed clean on the greens, going 52-for-52 in Circle 1 putting, and he led the field with a 54 percent birdie rate. Heimburg kept the chase alive deep into the round, but a costly mistake on the final hole ended the threat and left McMahon alone at the top when the scores were posted.
That finish matters because McMahon has spent the last two seasons trying to climb back to this level. The Tour said he came into Sweden after a third-place finish at the Northwest Championship and a top-five at the European Open, steady signs of a player rebuilding into form after a 2024 season that produced only one podium finish. The Swedish Open result gave him his first Tour title since the 2022 European Open and put a hard number on the turnaround.
The event itself gave the win extra weight. The 2026 Swedish Open presented by Kastaplast was played June 26-28 and marked the halfway point of the 2026 season. It returned to Borås for the fifth time, on a course known for demanding technical fairways and strategic shot-making, including the signature 718-foot downhill fifth hole. The tournament also carried added status as part of the DGPT EuroTour, launched in 2024 after the merger of the European Pro Tour and the Disc Golf Pro Tour.
The field McMahon beat was no soft landing. The DGPT pointed to the 2024 Swedish Open, when 144 players competed for a combined purse of $61,370, and James Proctor won the MPO title. McMahon’s numbers underline how sharp he was in Borås. The PDGA listed him at a 1040 rating as of June 9, with 61 career wins and $392,879.20 in career earnings, and the Swedish Open pushed him up three spots to eighth in the DGPT Powerball World Standings.
