Vaughn Taylor on playing partner Nick Watney’s positive test: ‘I feel for him’

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – It might have been the most surreal 24 hours of Vaughn Taylor’s PGA Tour career.

Taylor followed a second-round 69 with a 1-under 70 on Saturday at the RBC Heritage – four birdies, a bogey and a double bogey-6 – but that doesn’t touch the range of emotions the 44-year-old has endured since he learned that Nick Watney, one of Taylor's playing partners on Thursday, had withdrawn on Friday morning after testing positive for COVID-19.

“It's been an interesting 24 hours, lots of thoughts and emotions,” said Taylor who was tied for 57th when he completed his round.
