10 highlights of 2016 you might not remember

Vaughn Taylor’s remarkable victory

Ranked 447th in the world and winless since 2005, Vaughn Taylor rose up to the occasion and against all odds, beat Phil Mickelson by a stroke to win the AT&T National Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

"It's been a long time. I didn't think it was going to happen," Taylor said. "I worked so hard. I kept getting knocked down, knocked down. I'm just at a loss for words."

Taylor hasn’t had a full PGA Tour card for the last three years and made 4 consecutive birdies on the back nine to sign off with a seven under-65 and end up a shot above Phil Mickelson who had a five-footer on the last to enter a playoff.
