Adam Hadwin suffered a dislocated shoulder after being floored by an overzealous security guard at the Canadian Open.
And the golfer will now miss next week's US Open as a result after being tackled to the ground while attempting to celebrate with winner Nick Taylor. The Canadian had just sealed his victory on home soil and was locked in a dancing embrace with his caddie after holing his final putt. To mark the occasion, Hadwin emerged from the crowd spraying a bottle of champagne over the duo.
But his celebration was cut short as a security guard rugby tackled him, mistakenly thinking Hadwin was a fan getting too close to the victorious pro. And there was no polite request to step back. The member of staff went full Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard, launching himself at Hadwin and spear tackling him to the turf, as Taylor's bagman eventually noticed amid his joy as the pair tumbled to the deck.
Taylor finished joint first with Englishman Tommy Fleetwood. But the home favourite came out on top in a playoff to claim the prize.
