Kristin Tattar had been waiting on, working toward and dreaming about the moment.

When it presented itself on Sunday afternoon during an epic battle down the stretch with Paige Pierce at the 39th Annual Discraft Great Lakes Open, Tattar seized it.

“That was the only way,” Tattar told the Disc Golf Network. “When I saw the disc coming out of my hand, I knew it was going in.”

Round 1 of the Discraft Great Lakes Open had as many ups and downs as the Toboggan course itself.

Rain came through the early rounds for the MPO division, making some days a little more wet than others. As the feature MPO cards and FPO players came through, however, we had clear skies and just some damp landing zones.
