After Nick Taylor won the RBC Canadian Open by dropping a 72-foot birdie bomb on the fourth playoff hole on Sunday at Oakdale Golf and Country Club, Adam Hadwin did what any friend and fellow countryman would do.
He grabbed a bottle of champagne, shook it up, popped it and went sprinting onto the green.
