Frederick Morgan "Buzz" Taylor Jr. (July 13, 1931 – October 29, 2010) was an American athlete and businessman. The son of champion hurdler Morgan Taylor, he ranked fourth in the world in long jump in 1952 and 1953 and played defensive back for Princeton University's football team. After graduating, he became a business executive with Olin Corporation and later Victor Comptometer and then chair and principal owner of AquaVac Systems. He was president of the United States Golf Association in 1998 and 1999. Early life Frederick Morgan Taylor Jr. was born on July 13, 1931, in Quincy, Illinois. His father, the elder F. Morgan Taylor, had won Olympic gold and bronze medals in the 400 m hurdles and broken the world record at the 1928 Olympic Trials; he had also placed second to DeHart Hubbard in his son's future event, the long jump, at the 1925 NCAA Championships. Taylor grew up in Illinois, first Quincy and later Evanston and Skokie in the Chicago area.

His best jump in 1949 of 22 ft in (6.79 m) ranked him among the top Illinois high schoolers that year, although it was nowhere close to the national leader, George Brown, who had jumped 25 ft in (7.68 m) to break Jesse Owens's national high school record from 1933. Taylor graduated from high school in 1949 and went to Princeton University on a scholarship. He played defensive back for a Princeton Tigers football team that went 26–1 over three seasons. In 1952, his junior year at Princeton, Taylor reached the international top level as a long jumper. In early May he jumped 25 ft in (7.68 m) in a dual meet against Yale, a new meeting record and Princeton school record. Four weeks later he won the IC4A long jump championship, defeating the previous
