Kristin Tattar Dominates Jonesboro Open with Crushing Victory

Kristin Tattar's recent performance at the 2024 Jonesboro Open has left many wondering if she's finally regaining her former glory. The dominant display of golfing prowess she showcased over the weekend was reminiscent of her impressive form in previous years, such as the Paige Pierce-like dominance seen in 2017.

As Tattar took to the course on Sunday for the FPO Final Round, it became clear that the competition would be vying for second place. The real story of interest emerged from the battle between Eveliina Salonen and Holyn Handley, with both players fighting for a spot on the podium. Meanwhile, fans were treated to highlight-reel moments courtesy of the inevitable champion, Kristin Tattar.

One such moment came when Tattar nearly pulled off an eagle on hole 7 with a daring blind forehand approach that landed perfectly in the mid-cage. Although it didn't quite go as planned and instead turned into a birdie drop-in, it was just one of many impressive shots taken by Tattar throughout the day. In total, she managed to sink eight birdies, ultimately submitting a 994-rated 4-under score.

The margin between Tattar and second place proved insurmountable, with Holyn Handley finishing nine strokes behind the champion. However, it was an impressive performance from Handley, who managed to edge out Eveliina Salonen by just one stroke on the final two holes. This marked her third podium finish of the season.

Tattar's victory at Jonesboro looks like it may be a turning point in her season, as she appears to be rounding into form just in time to defend another major championship at the upcoming PDGA Champions Cup. With that event taking place in just two weeks' time, Tattar and the FPO field will have one more opportunity to test their skills before heading to Peoria for the Music City Open.
