Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin was tackled to the ground by an overzealous security guard as he celebrated Nick Taylor’s thrilling RBC Canadian Open victory in a play-off against Tommy Fleetwood.
Taylor needed four holes to see off the challenge of Britain’s Fleetwood, who was hunting for his first PGA Tour title after a final-day charge, with the 35-year-old Canadian holing out a mammoth 72-foot putt to claim his third victory on the Tour.
Having posted a final round six-under-par 66 to post the lead on 17-under, Taylor watched on as Fleetwood tied him with birdies on 16 and 17, but made a mess of the reachable par-five 18th and could only record a par for a five-under 67.
The tie sent the pair back down the 18th twice, with both posting birdies first time around before pars left them level, and after both failed to make the most of the ninth, they returned to the 18th for a fourth play-off hole.

We always like to mix a little hockey into all our sports.
I give that Tackle a solid 9 👌
Im more impressed the golfer held onto the bottle 😂😂😂
Nice takedown, textbook double leg. Adam looked like he was a good sport about it too with apologies all around.
They let Ray Lewis on the course?! Great form!
Security guard did his job, even though it was a misunderstanding. Hadwin appreciated that and apologies all around. No one calling for anyone to be fired. Thats what we Canadians should be known as.
They probably thought he was unvaxxed.
I'm getting Howie on the phone… with that swim move, I just found our new starting defensive end! E A G L E S EAGLES!
Great tackling technique got his head to the side and wrapped his arms 10/10
That was an illegal celebration, 15 yard penalty.
More exciting than the golf .
What a bunch of moe moes
✊🏾 ~ But seriously, I had the golfer been black in the security guard white this would be made into a huge racial story. They would say the white security guard only tackled him because of racial bias.
Even though I believe racial bias is real and is in virtually every area of our society, it doesn’t mean every single situation is about racial bias. Just because it’s in every area doesn’t mean the majority of situations are about racial bias. We have to try to remember this so we don’t act based off of our own confirmation bias.

Imagine if the guy with the champagne bottle was black and the security guard was white, this would be a race hate crime in the description…..
All staged to bring in laws to limit your rights and movement
No alcohol means no alcohol. Period.
Thank goodness Adam is white, otherwise we'd be listening to racism this and racism that 24/7.
Did he really think some random fan showed up on the green with a bottle of champagne?
Only in Canada
That brave Security guard ran through a Hail of Champagne to get to that guy! That could stink if it gets in your eyes!
Gotta admire Hadwin's commitment. He saw this big dude coming to hammer him but kept focused on the task and target.
Damn he’s spraying champagne not bullets
hi ryan's chat 👋
Guard should lose his job for being that ignorant
That was awesome. He deserves a raise.
No jeans in golf. EVER.
Finally the sport got more interesting
Why don't I see any angry fists flying from the security personnel? This leftist garbage should have been knocked senseless.
that's why he is a security guard no brain no feeling for situations
Security should have been fired immediately! Why are there never any consequences for anything!!
He shouldn’t have used a can, It should have to be a bottle 😂
