Nick Taylor etched his name into Canadian golf history with a dramatic victory at the RBC Canadian Open. His incredible 72-foot putt on the fourth playoff hole sealed the win against Tommy Fleetwood, marking the longest putt of Taylor's career and the tournament's longest playoff. This triumph also makes Taylor the first Canadian to claim the national title since 1954.

The victory sparked an eruption of celebration, not only between Taylor and his caddie but also among the spectators and fellow golfers who had gathered to witness the thrilling conclusion. Adam Hadwin, another Canadian golfer, expressed his elation by rushing onto the green to douse Taylor with champagne. However, his enthusiastic gesture was misinterpreted by security personnel, resulting in a brief but memorable tackle.

Video footage captures the moment Hadwin, unrecognized by security, is taken down. While his intentions were clearly celebratory, the security team, anticipating potential disruptions, reacted swiftly. The incident quickly resolved as security recognized Hadwin and allowed him to rejoin the festivities.

Golfer Tyrrell Hatton, who finished third, commented on the dramatic events, expressing his commiseration for Fleetwood while praising Taylor's remarkable win and acknowledging the surprising tackle incident. The scene highlighted the significance of the Canadian Open for Canadian golfers, often compared to the U.S. Open in its national importance. Hadwin's enthusiastic response underscored the special resonance of a fellow countryman's victory.

The playoff itself was a tense affair. Taylor and Fleetwood remained tied at 17-under after the final round, leading to the extra holes. Both players had birdie opportunities on the first playoff hole, with Fleetwood sinking his putt and putting the pressure on Taylor, who responded in kind. The second playoff hole saw both players par, as did the third. The decisive moment arrived on the fourth playoff hole, with Taylor facing a seemingly impossible 72-foot putt for eagle. Against the odds, he sank the putt, securing his historic victory and triggering the memorable scenes that followed.

Hadwin, who finished tied for 12th at 11-under, will likely remember this tournament not just for Taylor's historic win, but also for his own brief encounter with the security team.
