WACO Event Sets the Tone for 2024 DGPT Season

The Disc Golf Pro Tour's (DGPT) WACO event has come to a close, marking the second stop on the 2024 pro tour calendar. And what a start it was! The event saw a number of firsts, including Kristin Tattar's debut as the PDGA Major grand slam owner, the first multi-course event of the season, and the highest number of DGPT championship points available.

For Tattar, this was her first competitive outing since claiming the major title. And she did not disappoint. Despite a wobbly driver, which seemed to give her pursuers hope early on, Tattar managed to put together a string of par-saves and birdies over the middle nine holes of the final round. This effectively sealed her fate as the leader, with no one ever getting within five strokes of her.

Meanwhile, in the MPO division, the competition was fierce. A six-man battle for the top spot reached its climax on the back nine, with scores of 10-under-par or better seeming possible and necessary. However, it was a dramatic conclusion that saw Gannon Buhr emerge victorious after sinking a birdie putt from 20 feet out.

The other MPO finalists were equally impressive, with Niklas Antilla posting a course-record-tying 11-under-par to finish second, alongside Luke Humphries who had previously claimed the same record. Anthony Barela and Mason Ford rounded off the top four spots at 31-under-par.

While this event has certainly set the bar high for the rest of the season, it remains to be seen whether we'll see more dominance from Tattar in FPO and thrilling final rounds in MPO. One thing's for sure – fans are in for a treat with the 2024 DGPT season shaping up to be an exciting one!
