Kristin Tattar Expands Lead to Record-Breaking 13 Strokes in European Open

Kristin Tattar's commanding performance in the second round of the 2023 European Open has solidified her position as a strong contender for the championship title. Shooting six-under par, she has not only taken an impressive lead but also shattered records with her largest two-round major lead since 2015. According to statistics from StatMando, Tattar's current advantage is the biggest seen at a European Major in recent history.

When asked about her strategy during the round, Tattar attributed her success to confidence and focus on executing each shot without worrying about mistakes. This approach has not only contributed to her exceptional performance but also allowed her to minimize errors, resulting in the lowest bogey percentage among all players.

Tattar's dominance is evident not just in her individual statistics but also in her overall game plan. With a 1020 unofficial rating and three bogeys throughout the tournament so far, she has demonstrated remarkable consistency and skill. Her highest birdie percentage and lowest bogey count have set a high standard for the rest of the field.

However, despite Tattar's impressive lead, the competition is not yet over. Henna Blomroos and Missy Gannon are locked in a tight battle for second place, with both players exhibiting remarkable skills on the course. While Blomroos showed flashes of brilliance with birdies sandwiched between bogeys and an impressive eagle on Hole 15, she also struggled with her putting, resulting in a lower C1X percentage.

Gannon, on the other hand, has maintained consistency throughout the tournament, avoiding any double bogey or worse scores. Her solid game plan has earned her 100% C1X putting, making her a force to be reckoned with as the competition heads into its final two rounds.

As the players prepare for the third round of the European Open, Tattar, Blomroos, and Gannon will be joined by previous champion Catrina Allen. With live coverage beginning at 8:30 a.m. EEST / 1:30 a.m. EDT on the Disc Golf Network, fans can expect an exciting conclusion to this intense tournament.

The competition is heating up, and anything can happen in the final two rounds. As Gannon aptly put it, "There are two more days, two full rounds... Anything could happen, and I'm just going to try to put the pedal to the metal."
