Still sinking in for Abbotsford's Nick Taylor
For a country that has waited almost 70 years for one of its own to win the RBC Canadian Open, extra holes only made it that much more special.
Perhaps just as much as breaking seven decades of strife, Taylor’s win could also have a similar effect as Mike Weir’s victory at the 2003 Masters. Taylor paid tribute to Weir after his win, saying that without that extra bit of inspiration, it would have been much more difficult for him and other Canadian kids to have success in the hardscrabble world of professional golf.
It was pointed out to Taylor that his exploits on Sunday could soon be added to a short list of where-were-you-when moments that transcend golf, such as Sidney Crosby scoring the winning goal in overtime to win gold at the Vancouver Olympics, or when Joe Carter’s home run won the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays.
