Can She Finish?

UDisc currently gives Kristin Tattar a 94% chance of winning the Champions Cup. This comes after her Round 1 performance, where she shot a -9, tying her best score to par on the season. Tattar’s fellow competitors will need to step up their game to close the gap and challenge her dominance.

As the first major of the year continues, all eyes will be on Tattar, who seems poised to take home the title. However, with talented players like Catrina Allen and Kat Mertsch not far behind, anything can happen in the thrilling world of disc golf. Spectators can expect a nail-biting conclusion to this year’s Champions Cup.
