Kristin Tattar Dominates European Open with Record-Breaking Performance

Kristin Tattar has made history at the European Open, becoming the first European player to claim victory at the prestigious tournament. In an impressive display of skill and consistency, Tattar dominated the field from start to finish, shooting hot rounds for four consecutive days.

Tattar's winning margin of 16 strokes is a testament to her exceptional form, with StatMando data revealing it as the largest FPO PDGA Major margin of victory since Paige Pierce's 17-stroke win at the 2019 European Open. Over the course of all four rounds, Tattar showcased her mastery off the tee and on the putting green, finishing with an impressive 13.66 strokes gained tee to green overall and leading the field with 10.68 strokes gained putting.

Tattar's achievement is not only a significant milestone in her career but also a remarkable feat in disc golf history. With her performance at the European Open, she has now achieved a grand slam, winning the U.S. Women’s Disc Golf Championships (2019), PDGA Professional World Championships (2022), Champions Cup (2023), and the European Open – all within the shortest amount of time.

When asked about her accomplishment, Tattar modestly downplayed the significance, stating that her focus was on enjoying the game and executing challenging shots. "It's not my goal to break records; it's my passion to be out here, play well, and execute these demanding shots," she said.

Tattar's sights are now set on the next major tournaments of the season, including the European Championships and World Championships, which she believes will be a challenge but also an opportunity to showcase her skills.

Meanwhile, the battle for second place was intense, with Missy Gannon putting up a strong fight before ultimately finishing solo second. A dramatic finish saw Heidi Laine make a thrilling eagle on Hole 18, securing her spot in second place alongside Gannon.

As the Disc Golf Pro Tour heads back to the U.S., attention turns to the next PDGA Major – the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships, scheduled for late August in Jeffersonville, VT.
