Nick Taylor authored an iconic moment with his 72-foot putt to win last year's Canadian Open in Toronto.
Nick Taylor became the first Canadian man to win his national open since 1954. Now, the 36-year-old will have the chance to etch his name into the history books yet again when he and Corey Conners head to Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France, to represent Canada at the Paris Olympics.Nick Taylor authored an iconic moment with his 72-foot putt to win last year's Canadian Open in Toronto. Now, the 36-year-old looks to do the same when he tees off at the Paris Olympics.
"I don't think I've probably fully grasped it yet," Taylor said at the 2024 Canadian Open in Hamilton, Ont. "It's hard to think of words instead of obviously saying how cool it is, but I appreciate all the people that come up and tell those stories because it is a lot of fun to hear." "It was a very special occasion, and you don't get that every day, but I think when you do it just shines a light on the coolest moments that sport and the game can give," Fleetwood recalled.
Taylor went on to have great success playing out of Ledgeview. He won the Canadian junior championship, and he and Henderson are the only people to ever win both the Canadian national amateur and senior opens.
Between every hole, fans lined the ropes asking for selfies and autographs. Taylor never turned anyone down. "It's taken work to be able to get in that mental state of focusing on that present moment. … When I look back at the Canadian Open, I take confidence from that, which only helped me when I was at Phoenix," Taylor said.
