Golfer Adam Hadwin was tackled to the ground by security as he tried to celebrate Nick Taylor’s win at the RBC Canadian Open.
Taylor nailed an incredible 72ft putt on the fourth extra play-off hole to snatch a dramatic victory over Tommy Fleetwood.
Understandably, Hadwin tried to get in on the celebrations and started soaking Taylor with a bottle of champagne.
However, the security guard didn’t recognise him and jumped into action, flattening the PGA Tour winner.
“I hope he’s all right. He was upright when I saw him later. So I hope he doesn’t wake up tomorrow morning with any broken ribs or anything,” Taylor said after the incident.

only thing better is if the security guy had unleashed a K9 police dog on him. That would have been monstrously funny.
That was a great open field rugby tackle. More impressive was the fact that Hadwin didn't knock the ball on.
