Battle Royale at the DGPT Preserve Championship: Wysocki Leads MPO Field as Allen and Tattar Clash for FPO Title

The second day of the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) Preserve Championship powered by Prodigy has concluded, and it's shaping up to be an epic showdown. On the FPO side, Catrina Allen maintained her composure in the face of intense pressure, while Kristin Tattar mounted a fierce challenge to take the lead.

Allen's day started off on shaky ground, with a bogey on Hole 2 causing her to lose momentum. However, she quickly regained her footing and began to play some incredible golf. As she navigated the back nine, Allen found herself in a heated battle for the top spot, trading blows with Tattar.

Tattar's hot start gave her an early advantage, but Allen refused to back down. The two players engaged in a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse, with each trying to outmaneuver the other. In the end, it was Allen who emerged on top, carding three consecutive birdies on Holes 8 through 10 to take the lead.

Tattar's charge ultimately fell short, but she still managed to shoot an incredible round and finish just three strokes behind Allen at 13-under par. The battle between these two golfers is far from over, as they will face off again in the final round of the championship.

On the MPO side, Ricky Wysocki continued his dominance, expanding his two-stroke lead into a four-stroke advantage going into the final round. Wysocki's impressive play was marked by several highlight-reel moments, including an eagle on Hole 18 that cemented his position at the top of the leaderboard.

The four-stroke gap between Wysocki and Calvin Heimburg looks insurmountable, but the world number one has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with. "From what it looks like, it's going to have to be pedal to the metal," Heimburg said when asked about his strategy for the final round.

With Kat Mertsch and Ella Hansen tied for third at 9-under par, it's clear that this championship is anyone's for the taking. The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the Preserve Championship, with both FPO and MPO players vying for glory. Will Wysocki be able to hold onto his lead, or will Heimburg make a miraculous comeback? On the FPO side, can Allen maintain her composure under pressure, or will Tattar's momentum carry her across the finish line first?

One thing is certain – the 2023 DGPT Preserve Championship promises to deliver an unforgettable conclusion.
