Nick Taylor reflects on his performance at the Sony Open in Hawaii 2025

In the 2025 Sony Open press conference in Hawaii on Sunday, January 12, Nick Taylor reflected on his final round performance at the PGA Tour event. In the final round, he made five birdies, two bogeys, and an eagle on the 18th for a 5-under 65.

Taylor said of his performance (via ASAP Sports):

"It was a grind of a day. I didn't really look at the leaderboards until maybe 13 or 14. Had a sense of what was going on. When I missed the short putts on 15 and 16 I really thought I needed to get to 17. That's kind of my number I had to start the day."

"You know, the chip-in on 18 was awesome. In that situation I think was -- all I was thinking was hole it. I felt like par or birdie wasn't going to change a whole lot with Nico having a birdie chance there. Read it great and went in, and in the playoff to have those two nice up and downs to hang in there," he added.

Meanwhile, Echavarria settled in second place at the Sony Open 2025, followed by JJ Spaun tied for third place with Stephan Jaeger. Eric Cole settled in solo fifth place, followed by Jackson Suber tying for sixth place with Adam Schenk, Patrick Fishburn, and Keegan Bradley.
