SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Nick Taylor finished off a record round in the morning and had a short turnaround before teeing up again.
The Canadian needed something to eat and didn’t want to deal with the chaos of getting to the range at TPC Scottsdale, so he only hit a few balls on the range.
The limited re-warmup and ensuing stiffness took a toll in his final 18 holes, but he pieced it together enough to hold onto a share of the lead at the Phoenix Open.
