Security guard mistakenly tackles golf pro to the ground as Nick Taylor celebrates Canadian Open win

Nick Taylor's champagne shower at the Canadian Open turned into a dramatic tackle as a security guard mistakenly slammed a fellow golf star to the ground on Sunday night.

Nick Taylor’s champagne shower at the Canadian Open turned into a dramatic tackle as a security guard mistakenly slammed a fellow golf star to the ground on Sunday night.

The scene unfolded as Taylor’s 72-foot eagle putt dropped to win the RBC Canadian Open at Oakdale Golf and Country Club in Toronto.

The 35-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C., emotionally wrapped his arms around caddy David Markle as he broke the 69-year drought since a Canadian won the Canadian Open.

That’s when golf pro Adam Hadwin charged the green and shook a bottle of champagne in his friend’s direction to celebrate the historic moment.

But as he inched closer, a security guard swiftly tackled him to the ground, pinning him down on the course as half a dozen PGA officials swarmed the scene.

Markle broke from his embrace with Taylor and ran towards the chaos, along with a handful of others, to clear up the misunderstanding. Seconds later, the security guard pulled Hadwin back to an upright position and apologetically patted him on the back.
