Huskies golfer Nick Taylor is having a weekend to remember. Until Sunday's 3rd round, Taylor was in the mix for the U.S. Open as an amateur. He shot 2 under through 36, good for a tie for 7th place. The Huskies golf coach can breathe a little easier if the Toronto Sun is correct.

"I'm planning to go back (to school) and that's been the plan the whole time, to finish my last year," said Taylor, who was in seventh after the second round, six shots back of leader Ricky Barnes.

But the Canadian says don't hold your breath too long.

"If I won the Canadian Open or something like that, then obviously, I would turn pro," said the 21-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C. "Something that extreme would have to happen. Staying in school is what I want to do."

So maybe not the U.S. Open, but possibly the Canadian. Hmmmm. I think, much like Puyallup's Ryan Moore, we'll be hearing Taylor's name regularly on the tour.
