Vaughn Taylor wins on PGA Tour Champions for first win in more than 10 years

Palm Coast, Fla. (AP) — Vaughn Taylor clinched his first PGA Tour Champions title and his first win in over ten years on Sunday, edging out Alex Cejka in the Constellation Furyk & Friends tournament. Taylor's victory came after a strong back nine, which included five straight birdies, tying him for the lead with Michael Wright. However, Wright's double bogey on the 18th hole proved costly, allowing Cejka to post a 12-foot birdie putt and take an early lead.

Despite missing birdie opportunities himself on the final hole, Taylor ultimately secured his victory, hitting a crucial 7-iron to 10 feet and sinking the putt to clinch the title. This win marks Taylor's first PGA Tour Champions title and his first victory in more than a decade, following his last PGA Tour win in 2016. The 50-year-old Taylor's win now grants him exemption through the 2027 season.
