Former Washington golfer Taylor just misses Rookie of Year award

Former University of Washington golfer and B.C. native Nick Taylor was recently named a finalist for the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year award, but just missed out on receiving the award when it was announced that Daniel Berger earned the honor.

A graduate from the Web.com Tour a year ago, Taylor won his first PGA Tour title in just his fourth start at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Taylor, who was named the PNGA Men’s Player of the Year in 2008 and 2009, was a stand-out golfer at the University of Washington and a former No. 1-ranked amateur in the world.
