There’s No Tackling In Golf

I know things in the world of golf are a little heated right now, but this security guard in Canada over the weekend got a little carried away.

Now this guy was just doing his job, and the player wasn’t hurt so we can all laugh about it now! It was an honest moment that ended becoming the viral video of the weekend.

This weekend was the RBC Canadian Open, it is Canada’s national tournament and they haven’t had a Canadian winner in over 30 years. That all changed as Nick Taylor won the tournament in a wild play off.

That was the big story, but what happened after he won is what everyone is talking about. As Nick was playing in the play off against Tommy Fleetwood, Nick’s fellow Canadians were all watching from the sidelines. Among them were PGA player Adam Hadwin. Adam ran onto the green as many of the players did to congratulate Nick. The only problem was a security guard didn’t recognize Adam and proceeded to tackle him.

Here is the first video we saw of the incident. Adam was just trying to spray his buddy with some Champaign but instead got sacked!

Now you can feel a few ways about what happened, but no matter what the security guard was doing his job. And this, tournament was wild! At one point someone went running off with the flag stick from hole number 9.

Here are a few more angles of the hit.

This is one of the best angles of the video we have seen. It’s almost movie quality lol!

I love how the guard immediately knew what he did.

Adam Hadwin even Tweeted about it!

Overall, it was another wild moment during a wild day of professional golf. Honestly, with the news breaking about the merger, golf fans needed this kid of tournament. Now on the the US Open this week!

Big Jims House

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
