Abbotsford鈥檚 Nick Taylor broke a course record Saturday at the RBC Canadian Open in Toronto.
The Robert Bateman alum did it with a 9-under 63 at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club, on his third round of the tournament. His first two rounds at the 72-par course were 75 and 67.
After his first round, he told PGA reporter Adam Stanley that his wife helped get his head in the game.
鈥淢y wife gave me a talking to Thursday night,鈥� Taylor told him. 鈥淚 was just kind of getting in my own way. I probably had a very poor attitude when I was hitting shots maybe weren鈥檛 ending up like I wanted to. So, I knew my game was there, but a little kick in the butt didn鈥檛 hurt.鈥�
