Vaughn Taylor fought through miserable conditions in the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship for a 1-under-par 37-34=71 in the final round, finishing the week at 4-under 284.
Considering that Taylor's week began with him winning an open qualifier just to have a Thursday tee time, his trip to Quail Hollow is a resounding success. In his final lap, he circled three birdies to just two bogeys including a 2-under back nine. While he isn't in the field for THE PLAYERS, should he wind up inside the top 10 he would have a spot in the next full-field event. May 5 - 12:25 PM

Vaughn Taylor crafted a bogey-free, 6-under-par 32-32=64 at Carolina Golf Club in Charlotte, N.C. in today's open qualifier for the Wells Fargo Championship to secure one of the four berths at stake for the tournament proper.

Unlike a handful in today's field that had to make the mad dash from New Orleans on Sunday, VT missed the cut at the Zurich Classic by six strokes, thus affording him ample time to travel and try again this week. He enters the WFC ranked 144th in FedExCup points. Taylor rolled in six birdies today, including on both par 5s (Nos. 1 and 8). Former PGA TOUR member Nate Smith shared medalist honors with Joey McLister at 7-under 63. Smith circled nine birdies against two bogeys en route to respective nines of 33 and 30. McLister (32-31) dropped in eight birdies to erase one bogey. The final spot went to Jack Fields, who converted the last of his six birdies at the par-4 18th hole to join a 6-for-1 playoff among those at 5-under 65, and then birdied the fourth playoff hole to survive. Included among the victims he (35-30) outlasted were PGA TOUR winners Rod Pampling and Cameron Beckman as well as former member Mathew Goggin. The field at Quail Hollow is now complete at 156.

Vaughn Taylor has been added to the published field of this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Taylor was the 12th alternate at the commitment deadline, but snuck into the field on a sponsor exemption today. He's fared well in limited playing time due to conditional status this season, posting top 25s in all three of his paydays in five starts to sit 137th in FedExCup points. He's 3-for-4 at TPC Louisiana but hasn't cracked a top 25.

Vaughn Taylor has nabbed a sponsor exemption into the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Perhaps the reason for Taylor's exemption is his recent fine play. He's playing this year out of the 126-150 category, and missed his first cut at Pebble Beach. He was able to Monday qualify into The Honda Classic, finishing T25. He then picked up a T14 in Puerto Rico. Given his recent confidence, it's worth noting that he finished third at Bay Hill in 2007 meaning a big week is possible.

Vaughn Taylor will start his 2013 season off at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

A two-time PGA TOUR winner, Taylor is playing 2013 with conditional status. He's no stranger to Pebble Beach, securing four paychecks in six trips to the historic venue. His best finish was a T14 in 2009, but he missed the cut last season. With limited starts on tap for those with conditional status, he must take advantage of this start. A top 10 would mean entry into the next event.

Vaughn Taylor posted a 4-under-par 36-32=68 in the third round of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic to boost his three-day total to 10-under 206.

Taylor finds himself on the verge of improving his 142nd ranking on the money list into a spot in the top 125, likely needing a top 10 on Sunday to stand a chance. After trading a birdie for a bogey on the front nine, he came home in bogey-free 4-under. For the week, his 77.8 percent GIR is among the best in the field.

Vaughn Taylor successfully navigated PGA TOUR Q School in 2011, but hopes a solid week at the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic will afford him the luxury of skipping it this time around.

At 142nd on the money list, the two-time TOUR winner has seen the weekend in 13 of his 25 starts, but has failed to crack a top 10. He’s failed to see the weekend in three of his last five starts, with a T54 at the Justin Timberlake his best effort. He enters the week 84th in the all-around ranking.

Vaughn Taylor signed for a 4-under-par 32-35=67 following his opening round of the Frys.com Open.

Taylor has been grinding out his season in the graduate reshuffle. He's managed to climb to 133rd on the money list despite failing to log a top 10 among 12 paydays in 23 starts. Today at CordeValle, he hit 14 greens in regulation and circled five birdies, four ranging from 14-18 feet. He was bogey-free until finding trouble off the tee at the par-4 18th hole. He took a drop and eventually two-putted from just inside 11 feet for a 5.

Vaughn Taylor turned in a 6-under-par 33-32=65 in his opening round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, finishing four strokes adrift of the clubhouse lead.

Taylor arrived in Las Vegas ranked 131st on the money list, so he knows that every round is in the Fall Series is critical. He hit 15 greens at TPC Summerlin today and rolled in seven birdies. The set included a zero-putt nine-yarder at the ninth hole and a traditional conversion from 36'3" at 18. His only blemish of the day was a three-putt bogey from 32-and-a-half feet at the par-4 sixth hole. He fanned the par save from just 27 inches away.

Vaughn Taylor is in the field of the Wyndham Championship and looks to find the form that brought him a tie for 15th in the 2008 edition.

Known for his putting, Taylor will have to deal with the move to Champion Bermudagrass greens at Sedgefield. His current form is in question, as he missed the cut in the Reno-Tahoe Open. This is alarming because both of his PGA TOUR wins came in that event.

Vaughn Taylor is in the midst of a respectable 2012, and would love to add a fifth top 25 to his resume at the Travelers Championship.

Vaughn Taylor carded a 4-under-par 35-32=67 in his opening round of the RBC Heritage, good for a share of the clubhouse lead.

This was a crazy day for the two-time PGA TOUR winner. He hit only eight greens but limited his time on the greens to 20 putts. He suffered just one bogey and one double, yet manufactured an eagle and five birdies. His notable conversions were as follows: 20'8" birdie putt at the 12th hole; 19'5" effort for bogey at No. 1; 11'6" birdie at 2; greenside bunker hole-out from 18 yards at the seventh; eagle hole-out from the fairway 103 yards out to end his round at the ninth. Taylor has enjoyed success at Harbour Town prior to today, too. He posted top five in 2006 and 2007.
