Tattar Wins Music City Open with Record-Breaking Performance

The highly anticipated final round of the 2023 Music City Open presented by Lone Star Disc finally brought sunshine to Mill Ridge Park in Nashville, Tennessee. The tournament had already provided a thrilling competition, with top players vying for the top spots on both the Men's Professional (MPO) and Women's Professional (FPO) fields.

For the FPO division, Kristin Tattar made an incredible comeback after struggling through two rainy days. She soared to victory, shattering her competitors' chances with a dominating performance. Tattar's consistent putting and clutch birdie shots left her opponents in awe. In particular, her remarkable 100% C1X Putting on Sunday showcased her exceptional skill.

As the FPO field finally received favorable scoring conditions, Tattar seized the opportunity to take charge. Starting from an even-par score, she went on to secure a five-stroke lead over second-place finishers Macie Velediaz and Jennifer Allen. Her remarkable hot round of 7 strokes under par was matched by Rebecca Cox, but ultimately proved unbeatable.

Tattar's impressive victory marked her first Elite Series win since the Waco Annual Charity Open earlier this year, making her the first FPO player to secure multiple wins in the 2023 season. This achievement solidifies her position as a force to be reckoned with in professional disc golf.

Meanwhile, on the MPO side, Simon Lizotte pulled off another stunning come-from-behind victory, his third consecutive Elite Series win from the chase card. Starting four strokes back of Chris Dickerson's lead, Lizotte remained patient and focused throughout the round. His exceptional birdie streak on the back nine holes, with eight tap-ins in a row, sealed his spot at the top.

Lizotte's hot round of 11 strokes under par was shared by Cole Redalen and John Willis, but ultimately propelled him into the lead. As he took his first Elite Series win since signing with MVP in the offseason, Lizotte joined an elite group of players who have achieved two chase card victories – Paul McBeth and Ken Climo.

Lizotte's inspiring words after his victory highlighted the importance of mental focus and letting go of external pressures: "Try to let go and just play because at the end of the day, you just let it go and after that it's not in our control." This sentiment echoes the spirit of resilience and adaptability that defines professional disc golf.

The Music City Open has once again left fans on the edge of their seats, showcasing the incredible skills and determination of top players. As the season progresses, one thing is clear – these athletes will continue to push themselves to new heights, delivering unforgettable performances for spectators around the world.
