Estonian Sensation Kristin Tattar Seeks History-Making Win at PDGA World Championship
Date Published

As the sun rises over the Emporia Country Club course tomorrow morning, Kristin Tattar will take her position at the top of the leaderboard with a commanding five-stroke lead. The Estonian phenom has been playing some of the best disc golf of her life, displaying an impressive level of control and consistency throughout the tournament.
Tattar's putting game has been particularly noteworthy, with her putter barely touching the ground just three times during round 4 – two of those instances being from a tricky C2 shot. Her accuracy on the course has been equally impressive, as she hasn't once gone out of bounds in an entire round.
As Tattar prepares for what promises to be a thrilling final day, her game plan remains simple: execute each shot to the best of her ability and capitalize on any opportunities that arise. "I feel like I have a very strong game plan," she said, "nothing really special. But if I follow the game plan and give myself chances, it should be easy."
Meanwhile, Paige Pierce's hopes for a sixth world title have taken a hit. The five-time champion came into round 4 just three shots behind the leaders but struggled to maintain her momentum, carding bogeys on holes 9 and 11 before succumbing to a four-putt on hole 13. Despite recording a solo birdie on the island green of hole 16, Pierce's one-under-par score leaves her a daunting 13 strokes behind Tattar.
If Tattar can replicate her form from the previous day, she will become not only the first European woman to win the PDGA Worlds since Birgitta Lagerholm in 2004 but also the first Estonian and the first mom to achieve this feat. With the final round live on YouTube at 9 a.m. CT tomorrow morning, all eyes will be on Tattar as she battles to make history.
