PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Nick Taylor knew the odds were not in his favor Sunday at Pebble Beach.
Already nervous about playing alongside Phil Mickelson for the first time with only a one-shot lead, former Washington Husky Taylor found himself watching Lefty’s short-game highlight show on the eve of their final-round pairing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
“I was just curious, to be honest. And he hit some amazing shots,” Taylor said. “I’m like, ‘Well, I don’t know if he can keep that up. If he can, great.’ But if I keep doing what I’m doing, plugging along … then try to make the guys behind me try to beat me.
