Nick Taylor will be determined to successfully defend his AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am title in Pebble Beach, California, USA.
 
The Canadian golfer entered the final round in last year's tournament with a one-shot lead over American superstar Phil Mickelson.
 
Taylor shot a final round 70 in windy conditions and won the tournament by four strokes over Kevin Streelman. 
 
The win was his first full-strength tournament victory on the PGA Tour and his second overall and the win qualified him for his first Masters Tournament.

Taylor won his first PGA Tour event at the Sanderson Farms Championship in November 2014.
 
The Manitoba-born golfer's win was the first on the PGA Tour for a Canadian-born player in seven years, when Mike Weir won the 2007 Frys.com Open.
 
The year 2020 saw Taylor compete in the Masters' Tournament and he finished 29th with Dustin Johnson winning the competition.

The 32-year-old held a two-shot lead after 36-holes in Hawaii at the Sony Open before ending up tied for 11th, his best finish in 16 starts.
 
Taylor, who won the 2007 Canadian Amateur Championship, is looking forward to competing at the  AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. 
 
"It's going to be a little different obviously with no fans and only Spyglass and Pebble," said Taylor with the tournament set to be played without amateur partners and on only two courses in use.
 
"But I'm looking forward to it. I think any time you can play three rounds at Pebble that's a great week."
