Kristin Tattar Extends Lead at 2023 PDGA Champions Cup

As the sun shone brightly on day two of the 2023 PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell, the women's professional field navigated the treacherous W.R. Jackson Memorial course with precision and skill. Kristin Tattar continued to dominate the competition, extending her lead from two strokes to five over the field after posting a scorching 7-under-par round.

Tattar's performance was all the more impressive given that she remained bogey-free throughout the tournament, pushing her streak to 53 consecutive holes without surrendering a bogey. This remarkable feat is a testament to her exceptional playing ability and mental toughness. On day two, Tattar got off to a blistering start on the front nine, carding five birdies, including an impressive eagle on hole eight. However, her round slowed down slightly on the back nine, resulting in only two additional birdies.

When asked about the pressure of maintaining her lead, Tattar revealed that she focuses on executing her game plan rather than worrying about the competition. "I feel the need to birdie because of myself, not because of others," she explained. "I just want to birdie every hole because I know I'm capable, and it's frustrating when I don't." Her approach is a testament to her self-motivation and drive to excel.

Catrina Allen, now sitting in second place at 11 strokes under par, echoed Tattar's sentiments when asked if she would alter her game plan to catch up. "I'm not playing against Kristin Tattar; I'm playing the course and my gameplan," Allen stated confidently. "I can't control what she does." Both players have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their individual approaches, refusing to compromise their strategies in response to the competition.

The rest of the field, including Hailey King and Kat Mertsch, will look to capitalize on any potential weaknesses in Tattar's game plan as they prepare for the final two rounds. However, with the unpredictable weather conditions forecasted for Saturday's play, every player will need to adapt quickly to stay in contention. As Allen aptly put it, "When I'm playing my good golf, I'm not thinking about score or what others are doing; I just get in my groove."
