Nick Taylor's performance at the 2024 WM Phoenix Open

Nick Taylor started his game on the tenth hole at the TPC Sawgrass on Thursday, February 8. He made three consecutive birdies from the 11th to the 13th hole in the opening round of the Phoenix Open. He shot two more birdies on the front nine and six on the back nine to score 11 under 60.

Taylor got off to a smooth start at the Phoenix Open but struggled in the second round. He made a bogey and two birdies on the next 18 holes and scored 1-under 70.

The 35-year-old's third-round performance helped him add a -3 to his score. He made one birdie and two bogeys on the front nine in the third round and four birdies on the back nine to score 3-under 68. He shot a bogey-free round on the last day to settle for a score of 6-under 65.

With a total of 21 under, Taylor finished in a tie with Charley Hoffman. They competed in a playoff, where the Canadian carded two birdies and won the PGA Tour event.

Speaking about his performance, Taylor said (via USA Today):

"The finish was pretty dream-like. My setup got much cleaner, my face rotation slowed down, so we've done the same drills for a year, just constantly repeating them over and over again. I felt like growing up the claw was kind of a stigma. If you went to that, you probably struggled on the greens, but for me, once I committed to it, I haven't turned back, and I've never putted better than the last year.”

Nick Taylor will next compete at the 2024 Genesis Invitational Open, which will take place from February 15 to 18 at Riviera Golf Course.
