This one wasn't going to come easy.

With the revered and feared Northwood Park serving as temporary host and Mother Nature throwing in a few wrinkles, the 2024 PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell title was set up to come down to the wire.

But the leaders on top heading into Championship Sunday faced pressure from every direction along the way.

Eveliina Salonen and Andrew Presnell entered the woods of Northwood Park, dampened by storms throughout the week, and the best players in the world, fueled by the quest for a PDGA Major title, ahead of them.

They didn't blink.

Salonen entered with a two-stroke lead over Kristin Tattar and Presnell a one-stroke lead over Joseph Anderson and Ezra Robinson.

The leaderboard was shifting all day and contenders appeared to be emerging throughout — names like Niklas Antilla, Ricky Wysocki, Ohn Scoggins and Silva Saarinen.

But Salonen and Presnell battled through and emerged PDGA Major champions.
