Canadian Pro Golfer Nick Taylor made history on Sunday, becoming the first Canadian in 69 years to win the Canadian Open. Taylor sunk a 72-foot eagle putt in the fourth playoff hole between him and Tommy Fleetwood to secure the victory.
In celebration of the win, fellow Canadian pro golfer Adam Hadwin ran over with two other golfers to congratulate Taylor. However, a security guard mistook Hadwin for a fan and tackled him to the ground. A slow-motion video from the tournament’s Twitter account showed the incident.
Hadwin was unharmed in the incident and took to Twitter to joke about the situation. He wrote, “I’m not sure that any one of us predicted a security guard would tackle me for trying to spray @NickTaylorPGA with champagne.”
Taylor was delighted with the win and expressed his gratitude to the crowd. “It’s been an amazing week,” he said. “I’m so thankful for all the support I’ve received from the Canadian fans.”
The Canadian Open was held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario. It was the first time in the tournament’s history that a Canadian won the event on home soil. Taylor’s victory marks a momentous occasion for Canadian golf and is sure to be remembered for years to come.
