Taylor’s $2.18-million cheque for second is more than he earned in his two PGA Tour titles combined.
The only person in the way of a third Canadian winning on the PGA Tour this season was perhaps the worthiest of champions.
There was a small opening on the raucous par-3 16th after Scheffler hit a poor tee shot, but he rolled in 15-footer to save par while Taylor pushed his six-foot par attempt wide for his only bogey of the day. The Canadian lipped out a birdie try on 17 but closed with an 8-foot birdie on the 72nd hole and shot a 6-under 65.
Taylor, lives just six kilometres from TPC Scottsdale, earned $2.18 million, more than the combined total of his two career first-place cheques . He was looking to join George Knudson as the only Canadian winners of the Phoenix Open. Taylor’s second-place finish comes a day after Stephen Ames won for the third time on PGA Tour Champions. He captured the Trophy Hassan II on the senior circuit by five shots Saturday afternoon.
