Tattar and Hammes Shine as Disc Golf Pro Tour Comes to an End

The 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour came to a close with an exciting conclusion at the Portland Open presented by Latitude 64. Kristin Tattar and Adam Hammes proved themselves to be the top players of the competition, claiming their respective titles in a thrilling finale.

Kristin Tattar's road to victory was far from smooth sailing. Despite struggling during Championship Sunday, her six-stroke cushion ultimately proved too much for her opponents to overcome. The talented player showed remarkable resilience, drawing on her inner strength to fight through the tough conditions and emerge victorious. In a post-tournament interview with DGN's Terry Miller, Tattar expressed relief that it was finally over: "One of the toughest rounds of my life... I just kept reminding myself to fight, that I'm not a quitter."

Sai Ananda put pressure on Tattar throughout the day, narrowing her lead to three strokes at one point. However, Tattar's determination and experience ultimately paid off as she held onto her position.

Meanwhile, Adam Hammes was facing his own battles in the MPO division. After rebounding with a course-record performance in round three, he took a one-stroke lead into Championship Sunday. The competition was fierce, with Aaron Gossage and Corey Ellis joining him in a tight battle for the top spot. As the final holes were played out, Hammes and Gossage found themselves locked in a playoff, which ultimately came down to Hammes' clutch birdie putt on 18.

Hammes's victory marked his third Elite Series win and ended a two-year drought between wins. Reflecting on his performance, he told Miller: "It's weird how this game can go... You'll have your ups and downs and sometimes those downs last a long time but I'm back on top."

The tournament also saw impressive performances from Juliana Korver and Ohn Scoggins, who finished in a tie for third. Korver and Scoggins both took down PDGA Masters Major titles just a week prior to the Portland Open.

With the conclusion of the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour - Portland Open, attention now turns to the next event on the schedule: the Dynamic Discs Open, set to take place in Emporia, Kansas from June 16-18.
