Canadian golfer flattened by security while spraying champagne in Canadian Open celebration | CBC Sports

Nick Taylor’s victory on Sunday at the Canadian Open at Toronto’s Oakdale Golf and Country Club was certainly something to celebrate.

Taylor was the first Canadian to win the title since 1954, and that didn’t seem lost on Adam Hadwin. The fellow Abbotsford, B.C., native was one of the the first to rush the green in celebration, spraying champagne at Taylor and his caddie.

The problem was that security at the event did not seem to recognize Hadwin as one of the golfers competing at the tournament, and he was absolutely levelled onto the green by a vigilant guard.

These photos capture the key moments of Hadwin’s botched celebration:

Hadwin’s wife, Jessica, gave golf fans an update on her husband’s condition shortly after the incident:

“Sorry to leave y’all hanging, had to get the toddler ready for bed. I’m thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled.”

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 ???????? <a href=”https://t.co/4SlIfznmJK”>https://t.co/4SlIfznmJK</a>
