Nick Taylor leads Huskies to NCAA Championship with 2nd place finish

ALVATON, Ky. - Washington junior Nick Taylor, ranked No. 9, carded his second straight runner-up finish at an NCAA regional -- both are the best finishes in program history. Taylor shot a 67-70-76 213 to finish 3-under after three rounds. The Abbotsford, B.C. native took a three-stroke lead into the 13th hole before eventually falling behind North Carolina State's Matt Hill by a stroke.

"I started out playing good, but not spectacular," said Taylor, who current ranks ninth nationally as an individual. "But, fortunately I was able to take advantage of my birdie opportunities and I made a couple of long putts for par."
