Among the first people to greet Nick Taylor after his second-place finish at the WM Phoenix Open \u2014 after his wife and daughter \u2014 was his friend, countryman and fellow tour pro Mackenzie Hughes.<\/p>\n

Despite failing to make the cut, Hughes was still out on the course at TPC Scottsdale on Sunday to support Taylor as he flirted with becoming just the second Canadian winner in WM Phoenix Open history, after George Knudson did so in 1968.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cI was really pulling for him to get the job done today, and even Adam (Hadwin) was playing really well also, but yeah it\u2019s really fun. I feel like every week there\u2019s someone in the mix. I think I saw a stat where Canada was the most represented country outside of American players this week, so it\u2019s a great sign for Canadian golf, all of us are really close friends so it\u2019s really cool to be out here supporting him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor ultimately came up just two shots short of the trophy, after sharing the lead with eventual winner Scottie Scheffler as late as the 12th<\/sup> hole. Taylor\u2019s performance, along with fellow countryman Hadwin, who finished tied for 10th<\/sup> at 10-under par, was an extremely positive sign for the state of Canadian golf.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like we\u2019ve been getting stronger and stronger on tour,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cLast week I played with Taylor Pendrith and he had a great Sunday and finished top-10 there, so it\u2019s great for us all to play together and have the brotherhood like that we have. I feel like we\u2019re all playing well, so it’s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cWe’re all close friends, we play a lot of practice rounds together. To show their support to kind of show up is great. It would have been nice if I was holding the trophy with them there too, but, no, it’s awesome. It\u2019s definitely a Canadian brotherhood out here.\u201d<\/p>\n
