Kristin Tattar Seizes Commanding Lead Heading into Preserve Championships Final Round

The second round of the Preserve Championship has come to a close, and it's clear that Kristin Tattar is the one to beat. The Estonian player carded an impressive -6 round, pushing her lead to 7 strokes heading into the final day of competition. Tattar's dominance was on full display as she navigated the challenging course conditions with ease, leaving her competitors in her dust.

Hailey King was the closest challenger to Tattar, but even her respectable -4 round couldn't close the gap between them. King climbed two spots on the leaderboard, securing second place going into the final round. Paige Pierce, who struggled to match Tattar's level of play, still managed to shoot -3 and earn a spot in fourth place.

The rest of the field saw some significant movement, with Lydia Lyons dropping six spots after shooting +5. Meanwhile, Catrina Allen cleaned up her performance from the first round, carding -2 and jumping seven spots to sixth place. With only five FPO players shooting below par, it's looking increasingly unlikely that anyone can catch Tattar in the final round.

In the MPO division, Ricky Wysocki and Paul McBeth were locked in a tight battle for top spot, but Eagle McMahon stole the show with an incredible -13 round. McMahon birdied 13 holes and capped off his day with an eagle on the 18th hole, despite taking two bogeys. This stunning performance tied him with Wysocki for first place heading into the final round.

McBeth had a strong round, but even his -3 better than Wysocki couldn't overcome the three-stroke lead that Wysocki entered the day with. Matthew Orum and Gannon Buhr also impressed, keeping themselves in contention for the top spot. The young gun Buhr will be one to watch from the chase card.

While some players struggled to match their first-round success, others jumped up the leaderboard, bringing themselves into contention for a podium finish. With only one round left to go, it's anyone's game, and fans can expect an exciting final showdown on Sunday.
