PGA Tour Golfer Mistakenly Tackled by Security While Celebrating Friend’s Canadian Open Win

Things got a little out of hand at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday after Canadian-born Nick Taylor outlasted the competition to take home an incredible victory.

Taylor, the first Canadian to win the country’s national open in 69 years, caused a frenzy after sinking a walk-off, 72-foot eagle putt on the fourth playoff hole. Taylor’s post-victory celebration was briefly halted, however, when a security guard tackled a man who ran out to celebrate with the 35-year-old.

The only thing is the man was not a crazed fan or any threat at all. It was Taylor’s friend and fellow Canadian PGA Tour golfer Adam Hadwin, who actually competed in the Open and finished tied for 12th place.
