Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship Sees Surprising Turn of Events
Date Published
The halfway point of the Elite Series finale at Matt Keats Memorial has seen some dramatic changes in the standings at the 2024 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship presented by Barbasol. Kristin Tattar is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with as she maintains her lead, growing it to three strokes over her nearest rival.
Tattar's impressive performance on Wednesday saw her complete 17 clean holes in a row, resulting in a 6-under par round that pushed her ahead of the pack. Her ability to scramble and rely on her trusty C2 putter paid off once again, including a stunning 37-foot putt on Hole 18. The result leaves Tattar firmly in control as she looks to secure the top prize of $35,000.
Meanwhile, the men's competition is heating up with Ricky Wysocki and Gannon Buhr pulling away from the rest of the field. Their blistering performances saw them finish the day with scores of 13-under and 12-under respectively, shattering the previous course record on the DGPT layout at Nevin Park. Wysocki's remarkable putting display, including five C2 makes and a staggering 3.41 strokes gained putting, has left him in the lead by one stroke over Buhr.
The chasing pack is led by Ohn Scoggins, who matched Tattar's impressive round to move into a tie for second place alongside Holyn Handley. The top four spots are tightly contested, with Missy Gannon and Eveliina Salonen tied for fourth at 16-under par, four strokes back from the leader.
In the men's competition, Isaac Robinson holds onto third spot solo, seven strokes behind Wysocki, while Ezra Robinson and Niklas Anttila are tied for fourth. The next two rounds will be crucial in determining the outcome of this thrilling championship, as the players battle it out for a share of the prize money.
