Canada's Nick Taylor beats Charley Hoffman in playoff to win Phoenix Open, 4th PGA Tour title

Nick Taylor made an 11-foot birdie putt to beat Charley Hoffman on the second hole of a playoff after birdieing three of the last four in regulation Sunday, capping another wild week at the Phoenix Open with his second memorable victory.

The Abbotsford, B.C., native Taylor closed with a 6-under 65 to reach 21-under 263, with the Canadian forcing the playoff with a 9-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th.

Both players birdied the extra hole and hit the green on No. 18 a second time — Taylor from the right rough, Hoffman from the left fairway bunker. Hoffman left his birdie putt short and Taylor birdied the hole for the third time in less than an hour as the sun dipped below the horizon.

Taylor won his fifth PGA Tour title to end a chaotic week of weather delays and the rare decision to close the gates — and, gulp, cut off liquor sales — when things started to get out of hand Saturday.

Hoffman was 4 under in a three-hole stretch on the back nine and had a three-shot lead when he finished.

Taylor wouldn't let him grab the trophy just yet.

Taylor shot a course-record 60 in the opening round in the desert for a five-shot lead that matched the largest after 18 holes on the PGA Tour since 1983.
