Catrina Allen Wins Thrilling Victory at Winthrop

Catrina Allen's name has become synonymous with clutch performances on the disc golf course. The five-time world champion once again proved herself to be an unstoppable force at the 2022 Throw Pink Women's Disc Golf Championship, held at Winthrop. This time, however, it was not just about her own skills – it was about outlasting a determined opponent.

Kristin Tattar, the reigning World Champion, had been dominating the Pro Tour all year and was not going to let Cat go down without a fight. Despite starting round 3 with a staggering 13-stroke deficit, Tattar showed her class by cutting the lead to just three strokes by hole 11. But it seemed that Allen's consistency and experience would ultimately pay off.

The turning point came on hole 17 when Tattar safely landed on an island green, putting pressure on Allen to respond. After clipping a branch with her forehand tee shot, Allen showed incredible composure by successfully executing a clutch putt from the edge of the circle. This crucial moment maintained her two-shot lead heading into the final hole.

As Tattar's second shot on 18 found the hazard, it became clear that Allen's victory was all but assured. The crowd erupted in applause as she celebrated with an emotional walk up the fairway. Despite being out of the winner's circle since July, when she won the DGPT Elite Series event at Idlewild, Catrina Allen's hunger for success never wavered.

"I'm just trying to take it all in," Allen said after her win. "It feels amazing – it's been a minute since I've had a big win, so it feels great." This victory marked a significant milestone for the decorated player, who has proven time and again that she is still a force to be reckoned with on the disc golf course.
