After Nick Taylor made a 72-putt bomb on the fourth playoff hole to make history and win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, his fellow countryman and winner on the PGA Tour Adam Hadwin ran on the green, along with several other Canadian Tour players, to celebrate with him and shower him with champagne.
After all, the Winnipeg native had just become the first Canadian to win his national open since Pat Fletcher in 1954. However, a security guard – who was just doing his job, to be fair – didn’t recognize Hadwin in the moment and tackled him to the ground.
I don’t know who this security guard is, but if he’s a local I’m guessing he was one hell of an enforcer when he played hockey growing up in the greater Toronto area. But given how strong his form is, maybe he played football.

There was a flurry of different videos posted on Twitter and even Hadwin’s wife was commenting.
Omg I can’t handle these different angles. The security guard’s laser focus on his target. Adam’s commitment to the giant bottle of champagne. So many things to take in with every new POV 💀😂 https://t.co/4SlIfznmJK
