Kristin Tattar #73986

The 2022 PDGA FPO World's Champion has been finishing Top 3 so consistently, that her footprints are embedded in the podium.

Her game and accomplishments speak for themselves. Not much more to say for now.

But I'm sure we'll be talking more about her as the season closes out. She deserves her own thread.

One of my favorite KT moments. I freely admit to some homer bias, but...

She big putted Pierce and ripped DGLO right outta Paige's hands here.

I don't think I can imbed this, but the link works and gets you right to the action.

She is so good. I went back and watched 2018 worlds, which was the first I ever watched, and she has made leaps and bounds since then.

 

[BionicRib]

Has she peaked?

You all know I'm a big Paige Pierce fan, but Kristin Tattar is right up there on my top list also now! And, she is a class act. Gonna be seeing a lot more of her for sure.:thmbup:

PP...Look at me...Tattar's the captain now.

She's super focused. Great to watch. How does her final score rank w the men's. -35? Formidable in every way

Sure, why not.

Kristin is the most well rounded, consistent player we've seen on tour. Yeah, I said it. She doesn't flash a lot of big amazing shots on the course, but if you want to watch someone surgically pick apart a course, Kristin is the one.

Kristin may not be the single best player at any one thing, but her success is largely due to being strategically more sound than many other players and simply being able to stick to the plan and execute it consistently.

Kristin stays in bounds. She plays golf instead of the go-for-it version IMO has developed in FPO. PP may have been the first modern version of that type of FPO player (King, Ryan, Handley) but placement and putting will win over power most every time.

Steak Tattar- When KT makes the putt that seals a victory

Has anyone noticed how muscular her arms and legs look? She is really physically fit.

My burning question is how to pronounce her last name. I'm hoping it's "Tater," as in "Peel me one o' them taters."

Thanks for sharing that link, it was a very interesting article. I feel that one of Kristin's biggest assets is her ability to focus totally in the moment and not be distracted by what she can't control. I also think that it really works well for her to have interest and participate in other sports so that she doesn't get burned out, but then again that is just my personal observation.

Her rating took a big drop in the last update but i think she will jump up again next time. . but she Still IS the highest rated FPO player. . wonder if she can get close to Paiges all time high rating? - - Paige was close to be the first woman to get to a 1000 . . can Kristin take that step that Paige has not reached?

And she takes a 6 stroke lead into the final round of Butler County Disc Golf Classic - DGPT Silver Series, being played at No Bo in Cranberry, PA.

Man that's such a great (and challenging course. Ian Anderson described as a mix between Toboggan and Northwood Black. Seems spot on as I think it's a "well-wooded Toboggan."

FPO par = 72
Her 1st round was 6 under and rated 1000.
2nd was 5 under but shows up as 979.

I don't really understand all the nuances of the rating system, 21 seems like a pretty big swing for 1 stroke.
I guess that means that on average, the field perform better the 2nd round?


Lykke Lorentzen shot 75 both rounds: 941, 923.
