Vaughn Taylor

Quick Quotes

Q. Incredible back nine believe get some comments on that finish.
VAUGHN TAYLOR: Yeah, I was playing well all day. Just couldn't really get it going. You know, just luckily hit one in there close on 14 and actually hit the pin and was a tap-in there.

Just kind of got the ball rolling, got me going in the right direction. I just hit a lot of quality shots coming in and made a nice putt on the last.

Q. 12-under. Hope to finish top 10 at this point or Top 5?
VAUGHN TAYLOR: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what's going on back there, but nothing I can do about what's going on behind me. I'm just pleased to get my round in. I played solid. I'm pleased.

Q. Chez had such a big lead going out. (Indiscernible.)
VAUGHN TAYLOR: I saw 10-under was second; I was three back of that. I was just kind of hoping for a good day and try to sneak up on some guys.

I know Chez is on form right now. He played really well last week. Tough to catch him. I was hoping to catch the other guys ahead of me.

Q. When was the last time you had five straight birdies?
VAUGHN TAYLOR: I can't remember. It's been a while. I can't remember the last time I shot 29 either. Been a while as well. Especially on the back nine. Never birdied the last five holes of a tournament, that's for sure.

Q. Talk a little about this finish and how it helps going forward here - pretty late in the season, too?
VAUGHN TAYLOR: Yeah, I been hanging around 80, 90 on the FedExCup, so nice to get in there and get some more points.

Had a lot of in-the-middle finishes lately. Just don't get many points back there. Hopefully jump me up a little bit and get me in better position for the FedEx.

Q. Talk about the newness of this and what you think of this place now.
VAUGHN TAYLOR: Yeah, clubhouse is amazing. They did a fabulous job with it. I know I and everybody else has really enjoyed it this week.

It's great to see it coming in here. Just makes the tournament that much better. It's a nice clubhouse. We really enjoyed it.
