Tattar dominated once again, extending her 12-stroke lead to 14 and finishing the tournament at 27 strokes under par. According to StatMando, this is the largest margin of victory ever at an FPO Major with a 30-plus player field.
“I just feel good this weekend,” Robinson said. “Playing in Georgia, I have support — messages from dozens of people just congratulating me and encouraging me.
“That means the world to me, to play in my home state and have a chance to take this Major title down. That’s what I’m out here to do and I’m not stopping.”
While the rest of the field have been playing solid rounds and jockeying for position on the leaderboard, Tattar will start the final round with a 12-stroke lead over second place. Tattar’s last win at a Major was the 2022 PDGA Pro World Championships where she won by eight strokes over Henna Blomroos, so a 12-stroke lead must feel pretty comfortable going into Championship Sunday.

They’re going to run it back.
On a day of big moves, Friday’s lead card — Isaac Robinson, Silas Schultz, Niklas Anttila and James Conrad — is staying put.
Robinson kept his spot at the top, Schultz dropped a course record performance and Anttila and Conrad are right on their heels as the 2023 PDGA Champions Cup presented by Bushnell hit the midway point.
The FPO field once again finished with some hot scores after navigating the woods of the W.R. Jackson Memorial course. Kristin Tattar extended her lead from two to five strokes over the field, sitting at the top of the leaderboard at 16 strokes under par with Catrina Allen in second place at 11 strokes under par.
