Nick Taylor's Record-Breaking Performance
In the first round of the WM Phoenix Open, Canadian golfer Nick Taylor made headlines by shooting a course-record 60. He ended his round with two consecutive birdies, demonstrating his skill and precision on the course.
Taylor's impressive performance took place over two days, as the opening round was delayed due to heavy rains. Despite the interruption, Taylor remained focused and completed his round with an outstanding score.

Being in the greater Phoenix region has also provided Taylor with a strong support system. Many Canadians who have relocated to the area were present during his record-breaking round, cheering him on and showing their pride for their fellow countryman.
Taylor's Journey and Future Prospects
As a three-time PGA TOUR winner, Nick Taylor has already achieved significant success in his career. His most recent victory came at the RBC Canadian Open in 2020, where he secured the title with a remarkable 72-foot eagle on the fourth playoff hole.
