Battle for the Top Spot Heats Up at Throw Pink Women's Championship

The drama is building at the 2022 Throw Pink Women's Disc Golf Championship as Kristin Tattar continues her impressive run, closing a significant six-stroke gap to leader Catrina Allen on moving day. While Allen extended her lead, she may not be feeling particularly comfortable with a 11-shot difference from her Friday pace.

Tattar has been the dominant force in the FPO field all year, and her recent performance is no exception. With a blistering six-under par round on Saturday, she outshone the rest of the competition by four strokes, aside from Paige Shue's impressive five-under effort. The reigning World Champion attributed her success to sticking with her game plan, which had already accounted for windy conditions.

"I didn't change much in my approach," Tattar said. "My strategy was set up to handle the wind, and I already played with overstable discs."

As Tattar continues to push Allen, other top players like Henna Blomroos (-8) and Sarah Hokom (-8) struggled to maintain momentum on the back half of the third round. This has created a sense that the final round could be a two-horse race between Tattar and Allen.

While closing six strokes in a single round is a significant challenge, especially against a player like Allen, Tattar's impressive performance and experience on the biggest stages should give her confidence heading into the final round. With the wind expected to continue affecting play on Championship Sunday, Tattar has every reason to believe she can close the gap.

Live coverage of the final round begins at 9:30am Eastern time on the Disc Golf Network.
