The second day of competition at the 2023 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by L.L.Bean was a windy affair for the women's field as they took on Fox Run Meadows. The challenging course conditions, coupled with tight obstacles lining the fairways, made it a tough test for even the most skilled players.


Despite the difficult conditions, Kristin Tattar proved to be more than equal to the task, shooting an impressive seven-under par round to expand her lead over the field. Her dominance was evident as she became the only player in the women's field to avoid taking any bogeys or going out of bounds throughout the entire round.


Tattar's consistent play has been a hallmark of her performance so far this season, and she showed no signs of slowing down at Fox Run. When asked about her approach to the challenging conditions, Tattar revealed that she focused on executing her shots as planned and making crucial putts when needed. Her strategy paid off, as she recorded another stellar round with a 1039-rated score that narrowly missed setting the course record.


Tattar's closest competitor, Missy Gannon, was hot on her heels after shooting a four-under par round to move into second place at seven strokes under par. While Tattar holds an eight-stroke lead going into Round 3, Gannon remains optimistic about her chances of catching up.


With the field split into C and D pools for the duration of the tournament, the women's competition has been lively so far. The pools will be shuffled based on each player's current standing after two rounds, with the top players returning to Brewster Ridge for Round 3.


In other news, several players have made significant jumps in the standings after making the switch from the D pool to the C pool, including Keiti Tatte and Eliezra Midtlyng. As the tournament enters its final stages, all eyes will be on Tattar's ability to maintain her lead and secure a second consecutive World Championship title.


When asked about her current mindset as she holds the top spot after two rounds, Tattar revealed that she is feeling calm but focused. "I'm just happy to witness how it all unfolds, whichever way it goes," she said with confidence.


The women's competition will continue on Friday at Brewster Ridge, where action will heat up once again. With so much golf still to be played, the 2023 PDGA World Championships are shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion to an already exciting tournament.
