Holyn Handley Rises to Challenge, Tattar Stays Ahead in Elite Series Tournament

In a thrilling turn of events, Holyn Handley made up for a sluggish start to the tournament with an impressive eight-stroke improvement in Round 2. This achievement has catapulted her into contention, matching Kristin Tattar's outstanding performance at 10-under. At one point, Handley was on fire, notching an incredible seven birdies in a row – a tournament record that could have been even more spectacular if it weren't for a cooler putter on the back nine.

Handley's impressive showing comes as no surprise given her recent form. Currently ranked sixth in the Official Disc Golf World Rankings, she has consistently pushed herself to new heights at Elite Series and Major tournaments, boasting an impressive eight podium finishes over the past three seasons.

Meanwhile, Tattar remained unphased by Handley's surge, maintaining her composure throughout Round 2. The world number one picked up right where she left off in Round 1, sinking a clutch C2 putt on Hole 3 to secure her first birdie of nine against only a single bogey. Although she did lose two strokes to Handley on Saturday, Tattar retains her dominant position, standing six clear of the field and firmly in control.

As the tournament enters its final round, fans can tune in to catch the live coverage on the Disc Golf Network at 9:55 C.T. tomorrow morning to see which player will emerge victorious. Will Handley continue to mount a challenge, or will Tattar hold onto her lead? The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to this Elite Series tournament.
