Holyn Handley's Comeback Charge Falls Short as Kristin Tattar Maintains Commanding Lead

Holyn Handley's impressive turnaround from her lackluster opening round was put to the test as she battled it out with Kristin Tattar for top spot at the Elite Series tournament. Following a spirited performance in Round 2, Handley found herself just two strokes shy of Tattar's blistering score of 10-under par.

The turning point came when Handley embarked on an incredible streak of seven consecutive birdies, setting a new high mark for the tournament. However, as she navigated the challenging back nine, her putting prowess began to wane, allowing the gap between herself and Tattar to widen.

Meanwhile, world number one Kristin Tattar continued her dominance, displaying precision and consistency throughout Round 2. Despite Handley's impressive surge, Tattar remained steadfast at the top of the leaderboard, accumulating a total of nine birdies against just one bogey on Hole 11.

The lone blemish in an otherwise exemplary round for Tattar came when her drive veered off course into the rough on Hole 11. The subsequent putt to save par missed by a mere foot, but the world number one refused to be shaken, securing herself a commanding six-stroke lead heading into the final day.

As Sunday's action gets underway at 9:55 C.T., Tattar will look to maintain her position atop the leaderboard. Handley and the rest of the field will undoubtedly push for a thrilling conclusion to the tournament.
