It was a memorable day for Canadian golf on Sunday – and for more reasons than one: Adam Hadwin was attacked while trying to celebrate his friend Nick Taylor’s win.
Taylor became the first Canadian to lift the Canadian Open crown in 69 years – but as Hadwin rushed onto the green to celebrate with his friend, he was attacked by security guards.
Earlier that day, Hadwin signed his scorecard and tied for twelfth place with eleven under par.
But as he stormed across the green to happily attend the ceremony and splashed champagne on Taylor, he was attacked before being told he was not a spectator.
Hadwin’s wife Jessica took the opportunity to poke fun at her husband as he was relaxing from his outing at Toronto’s Oakdale Golf & Country Club.

“Sorry to let y’all down I had to get the toddler ready for bed,” Jessica wrote on Twitter, referring to her three-year-old daughter Maddox.
“I am pleased to report that @ahadwingolf is still in the land of the living and in true Canadian form has apologized to the security guard for being attacked.”
She also enjoyed the various camera shots of Hadwin being taken to the ground, saying, “Oh my god, I can’t handle these different angles.”
“The security guard’s laser is on target.” Adam’s dedication to the giant bottle of champagne. So many things to take away from each new POV.’
In another Instagram Story post, Jessica added, “Also to everyone on my messages: He’s alive and (maybe) healthy!”
Jessica continued the jokes of the viral moment in interacting with other users.
After Jessica shared a meme of a monkey on a flip phone and wrote, “I’m ready to call Adam and ask why he’s looking at someone else like that,” someone replied, “Security on 18 just attacked Adam on your behalf, lol.” .’
Jessica responded and wrote, ‘What can I say? ‘I have connections.’

Toronto sports reporter Kayla Gray shared video of the tackle with the caption, “Safety is TOIGHT at the Canadian Open.” Jessica replied, “Call my attorney!”
Hadwin also had fun with the tackle on Twitter – posting a photo of the tackle with the caption “Put it in the Louvre!”
Adam Thielen, the Panthers’ newly signed wide receiver, tweeted, “@ahadwingolf asked me how it felt to tackle tackles for a living so here we go haha.”
Hadwin replied, “I think I’ll stick to golf!”
