Tattar Dominates Nashville, Clinches Back-to-Back Music City Open Titles

Kristin Tattar continued her impressive form at the 2024 Music City Open in Nashville, clinching her second consecutive title and third Elite Series win of the season. This latest victory marked a milestone in her career, as she closed in on becoming only the fifth player to achieve 21 or more Elite Series/Major wins.

Tattar's success was not without its challenges, however. Holyn Handley, who had been in contention throughout the tournament, ultimately fell short of claiming the top spot. Despite some impressive rounds, Handley struggled to maintain her pace in the final round and ended up dropping off the championship pace. This setback marked a disappointing 0-for-4 record for Handley when entering the final round with the lead or tied for the lead at Elite Series events.

One of Tattar's closest competitors, Henna Blomroos, secured third place by shooting a four-under-par during Sunday's round, which earned her an impressive 1019 rating. This performance further solidified Tattar's position as one of the sport's top players, with her unofficial event average for the 2024 MCO standing at an impressive 1017.

On the men's side, Simon Lizotte dominated the competition to take his second consecutive Music City Open title and ninth career Elite Series win. Despite battling multiple health issues throughout the weekend, Lizotte remained focused and managed to hold onto the lead in each round, ultimately securing a decisive victory. This latest success marked a milestone for Lizotte, who now boasts seven Elite Series or Major wins since May 2022.

Other notable performances came from Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki, both of whom made statement finishes. McBeth took home second place, while Wysocki fought his way back into contention after starting on the chase card to secure a tie for third place with Tennessee native Chris Dickerson.

The PDGA Champions Cup is set to be the next major event, where players will look to build upon their momentum from this weekend's competition.
