Adam Hadwin wanted to celebrate the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in seven decades. Instead, he got tackled by security.
Adam Hadwin, a Canadian PGA Tour pro who had just finished in 12th place at the RBC Canadian Open, was tackled by security at the end of Sunday's tournament. The tournament ended after a long playoff as fellow Canadian Nick Taylor sunk a 72-foot eagle putt to win and become the first Canuck in nearly seven decades to claim Canada's only annual PGA Tour event.
Hadwin, along with fellow Canadian and former Masters champ Mike Weir, were on the edge of the green ready to celebrate Hadwin's victory. Hadwin had a bottle of champagne in his hand when a security guard mistook Hadwin for a fan.

Winning his home country's Open was a special moment for Taylor, who claimed his third career PGA Tour title. "I feel like we all support each other so much, for them to stick around," he said."I think all of us said it this week, if us individually weren't the people to win, we really want another Canadian to do it and break this long drought. So to have them there, it's amazing. I've looked up to Mike Weir and watched him play golf for so long and for him to be there was special.
