Golfer tackled by security guard during celebrations at Canadian Open

Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin was tackled to the ground by an overzealous security guard as he celebrated Nick Taylor’s thrilling RBC Canadian Open victory in a play-off against Tommy Fleetwood. Taylor needed four holes to see off the challenge of Britain’s Fleetwood, who was hunting for his first PGA Tour title after a final-day charge, with the 35-year-old Canadian holing out a mammoth 72-foot putt to claim his third victory on the Tour. Having posted a final round six-under-par 66 to post the lead on 17-under, Taylor watched on as Fleetwood tied him with birdies on 16 and 17, but made a mess of the reachable par-five 18th and could only record a par for a five-under 67.
