2022 Memorial Championship • R3B9 • Kristin Tattar • Eveliina Salonen • Henna Blomroos • Jen Allen
The 2022 Memorial Championship presented by Disc Craft is on the back nine of the Vista del Camino course, where score separation is becoming more apparent after a tight third round. Kristin Tattar and Eveliina Salonen are leading the charge, but Henna Blomroos, Jen Allen, and others will need to regroup and refocus to make a comeback. The tight fairways on this course demand precision and strategy from players, particularly on holes like 10, a challenging par-4 at 651 feet. The left and right sides of the fairway feature obstacles that can easily be avoided with a well-placed shot. Kristin Tattar's safe approach to this hole is a contrast to Henna Blomroos' earlier struggles with distractions, which led to an impressive comeback. The importance of wind direction and fairway placement will be crucial in determining the winners on this course, where players must navigate tight spaces and avoid obstacles to achieve success.
