Kristin Tattar down to eighth in Texas, Kristi Unt puts in impressive showing
Kristin Tattar's hopes for victory at the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) season's first major tournament in Texas took a hit on the second day of competition when the Estonian fell to eighth place on day two.
Tattar won the season opener in Waco last weekend and then placed second during the week in Austin, and had been in joint fourth after day one at the current competition.
Of other Estonians competing, Kristi Unt was among the top performers, climbing an impressive 32 places in the overall standings.
Tattar amassed seven bogeys (one over par) and four birdies (one below par) on day two, Friday, completing the standard 18 holes in 68 throws, and three over par.
Tattar is now tied for eighth place with Sai Ananda, Natalie Ryan, and Ohn Scoggins, who was Friday's best performer (three below par).
