Famous quotes by Vaughn Taylor:

"I had never had a big lead like that in a big tournament, ... I didn't know how to handle it. I was hoping to get off to a good start and never look back and not have to worry about it. Hopefully I learned a lot today and next time, hopefully I will handle it a little better."
"I still have people come up to me and tell me 'Good job in Reno last year.' That means a lot. Even though the NEC is going on and it's a bigger tournament, people still follow Reno."
"It was good to be back out there."
"I've been hitting it well and doing everything pretty well, really. I've had quite a few tap-ins and 3- or 4-footers, which is always nice."
"I've been hitting it well and doing everything pretty well, really."
"My goal is to play in the Masters next year."
"That was a clutch putt. I didn't want to make double there."
"This is my first time, so it's all new to me."
"Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled. I never felt like it was mine. You never know what's going to happen. I'm glad it's over. I'm really proud to have won here twice."
"Today was a pretty boring, uneventful round of golf, but I'm thrilled."
