Holyn Handley found struggles and successes during the final round but ultimately fell off the championship pace. Handley is now 0-for-4 when entering the final round with the lead or tied for the lead at Elite Series events. 

Kristin Tattar’s quest to be the first FPO competitor with a player rating of 1000+ comes closer to reality after her event average for the 2024 MCO is (unofficially) recorded at 1017.

Simon Lizotte took down his second consecutive Music City Open in decisive fashion, holding the lead at the end of each round throughout the weekend. Lizotte accomplished this feat despite reporting multiple ailments during the Thursday press conference and throughout the weekend. 

Flashes of 2016 also came out during the event, with Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki making statement finishes. McBeth took home second-place honors while Wysocki made a push from the chase card to stay in the mix and round out the MPO podium, tying with Tennessee native Chris Dickerson.
