Her full name is Kathryn Merchandise
Cocoa puffs….
Congratulations, Kat – well deserved.
Congrats on the big win Kat , now I can see Kat winning a lot more events. She's been trying to get that first big win for awhile now! I see her finishing 2nd on rankings this year she'll be right behind Kristin. I thinks she's number 2 in the world right now in the FPO .
What a war cry!
Such raw emotion, wow. Tore me up inside. Congrats!
What an amazing human being!!!!!😎😮❤🎉🎉🎉
Yay Kat! (^_^)/
She get's my vote as player most likely to break out inna shuffle dance on the teepad after a cool drive. (O_O)
It's her e n e r g y. ,,/(^_^),,/
go Kat Go!
Amazing emotion. We’ve got tears right along with you, Kat!
9:00 the sound I make when I miss a 5 feet gimme putt
What a win for life!
I am glad Kat got the win. I did think at the time though the reaction was kind of unsettling and over the top. Especially since it was so close of a finish and King was right there dealing with the 2nd place disappointment.
So deserved. Been my fav FPO player since last season. CONGRATS!!!!
This was so fabulous.
Primal!!! Congratulations Kat!
Great victory Kat! Hopefully the start of many more.
Raw unfiltered emotion, I love her.
lol better see that energy throughout the season. love seeing tattar destroying fpo
Instant kat fan
Hell yea!! Love how the lone Star ladies were so happy for her too. Couldn’t have been earned by a nicer player. She was so sweet to my daughter in Waco and she will never forget it. A fan for life. She’s right too. Disc golf changed my life for the better and does every day. My church, therapist and sober best friend.
^^^^^ Chills
This was the highlight reel I wanted. Thanks and mega congrats Kat! ❤
A great win, and a long time coming. Would like to have seen her show a bit more class than to scream in Halies face while she was true to congratulate her. Good tournament and good competition.
What a performance. This lady is legendary. Big up Hailey King as well. Great golfing
Huge. An all-time sports moment Congrats, Kat. What a great person to have in the sport.
I can’t even watch her “celebration.” I feel total secondhand embarrassment. Way too over the top.
She might be slightly mentally unstable
I still think that may have been a flex move, turning her back on the putt.
Raw human emotion on display here. Just beautiful to see someone grind for years and finally get a big win!
