Shot problems confound Taylor

Vaughn Taylor left Augusta National Golf Club on Friday scratching his head. Where did it all go wrong?

Taylor makes himself heard while fishing

There's a side of Vaughn Taylor that only his fishing buddies know. When he's in his bass boat on the river behind his home in Evans, you'd never know Taylor is known as the PGA Tour's "quiet man."

Missed putts stay in Taylor's mind

It was the kind of pressure Vaughn Taylor never felt before. Not when he was winning two times on the PGA Tour, and not when he was playing in the 2006 Ryder Cup in Ireland.

Careers appear to move in step

You can search the list of world-class golfers and find no player with a greater appreciation for what Zach Johnson has accomplished than Vaughn Taylor.

Taylor looks forward to next year

All numbers that add up for an impressive Masters Tournament for Vaughn Taylor. But the one number he'd like to have back is a final-round 75, which left him six shots behind champion Zach Johnson.

5-over day leaves Taylor cold

It was 47 degrees with wind chills even lower at 7 p.m. Saturday as the sun was setting on Augusta National Golf Club.

Outshining the stars

After a closing bogey in the second round, Vaughn Taylor stood on the 18th green with his head down and Gary Player's arm wrapped around him.

To Australian golfers, the great barrier reef lies at Augusta National Golf Club, not off the coast of their home country.

Taylor in prime position going into the weekend

Vaughn Taylor is about to climb from the backseat to the frontseat. Taylor played the first two rounds of the Masters Tournament alongside golf legend Gary Player, who missed the cut in his record-tying 50th Masters appearance.

Taylor's round is near picture-perfect

Lynn Taylor was mesmerized by the scene. Standing there in the 18th fairway in complementing black outfits were her son and Gary Player: separated by 40 years, 48 Masters Tournament starts and three green jackets, yet side by side walking up to the green.

With a little help from their friends

Call it home-field advantage. Call it an added burden of performing well.

Taylor seeks more return trips

When Larry Mize won the 1987 Masters Tournament, the Augusta native was the lone player in the field with an area connection.

Augusta's own: Vaughn Taylor

Vaughn Taylor knows what to expect in this week's 71st Masters Tournament. He hopes his play will reflect that and earn him a weekend starting time at Augusta National Golf Club for the first time.

Taylor's opening jitters lead to 75

After striping his first drive of his first Masters Tournament down the middle, Vaughn Taylor playfully patted his heart.

Augustan began ride to success as a boy

It's exactly a mile from Vaughn Taylor's south Augusta childhood home to Goshen Plantation Golf Club.
