2021 Pro Worlds • R1F9 • Mixed Doubles • Kristin Tattar • Silver Latt • Madison Walker • Zach Melton

The 2021 Pro Worlds mixed doubles competition is on display in this thrilling footage from R1F9 at Fort. Terry Miller, the Disc Golf Guy, welcomes special guests Tyler Brickley and Kristin Tatar as they team up with defending champions Madison Walker and Zach Melton from 2019. The European duo of Silver Latt and Kristin form a formidable opposing force to the American pair. Miller notes that Estonians are incredibly talented and had only recently arrived before taking on the grueling course. The format for this round is modified best shot, with teams restricted from having three consecutive drives by the same player. This strategic rule adds an extra layer of complexity to the game. Throughout the video, Miller shares insights into the rules and techniques used in the competition, including the approach shots and putts that are exempt from the modified best shot format.
