Pro golfer rugby tackled to ground by security thinking he is intruder

Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin had his plans to join the celebrations at the 18th hole of the Canadian Open quickly cut short after being taken down by a security guard.

Hadwin, 35, ran onto the course at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto while spraying champagne and running towards fellow Canadian Nick Taylor, who had just sunk a spectacular 72-foot putt for eagle and victory over Tommy Fleetwood. But before getting within touching distance of Taylor, Hadwin was forcefully stopped by a security guard.

Seeing what they presumably thought was an intruder spraying a substance towards the winner, the security person intervened. After curling around Taylor, they tackled a casually dressed Hadwin around the waist, sending him staggering backwards onto the green.
