Quick Quotes


Q. (No Microphone.)

NICK TAYLOR: Not often. This is unbelievable. I can't even say anything about this.

Q. That is the greatest Sunday I think this country has ever seen on Canadian soil. Just let it out, man. How does it feel?

NICK TAYLOR: It feels, I can't even describe it. This is the most incredible feeling. The fans were unbelievable all day. Every green, every tee box I was getting ovations and to make those last two putts to give myself a chance to do that, I'm speechless.

Q. You're 35. You're a veteran. You're a two-time winner. We know how poised you were. WM Phoenix Open, toe-to-toe with Scottie Scheffler. You didn't blink. We been waiting for this moment. A lot of us said you're the guy that can handle this. You proved us right. How did you do this so calmly out there?

NICK TAYLOR: I just tried to keep my head down out there today. I didn't look at a board until probably 17. I knew bogeying 16 with probably the atmosphere I was probably at best tied, maybe one back. I saw the board on 17. Knew I needed to birdie at least one coming in. So to make that on 17 and I got redemption on 18, because I screwed up the first day and I got it back.

Q. You got a lot of people waiting to talk to you, you got family to celebrate. I wanted to tell you, you are an icon now in this country. This country loves you. And I hope the rest of the world knows how popular this is, because you are, as good a golfer you are, you are as wonderful a human being. So thank you, man.

NICK TAYLOR: Thank you. Thank you.
