Horschel wins Nelson tourney; Taylor ninth

Billy Horschel won the AT&T Byron Nelson in Irving, Texas, with a par on the first playoff hole Sunday after Jason Day pulled his four-foot par putt left and past the hole. That miss by Day almost wasn’t even needed for Horschel, whose 36-foot birdie chance was rolling straight toward the centre of the cup before stopping just short. He won for the fourth time on the PGA Tour and for the first time since taking the 2014 Tour Championship for the FedEx Cup title. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., fired a 65 in the fourth day of play, his best round of the tournament. That final push took him up to 7 under par to tie for ninth.
