The 2023 RBC Canadian Open definitely delivered an indelible impression. No doubt the victory of Nick Taylor registered itself in history as, after nearly 70 years, a Canadian won the prestigious tournament. But, there was one more epic moment from this event that will be talked about for a long time by the fans and professionals.

It was the grand tackle of the PGA Tour golfer by the on-field security. While the attack looked rough, it attracted varied reactions. Although each one had a touch of cheekiness to it on a lighter note. It looked like an action right out of the American football. Hence, a comment from none other than Minnesota Vikings star Adam Thielen fits just perfectly!

Either live on the course or through social media after the video got viral, everyone has some grasp of the situation. Well, for those who still are a little clueless, the story goes like this. After the massive victory of Canadian Nick Taylor on the greens in Ontario, his compatriot Adam Hadwin couldn’t back down from celebrating this grand moment.

Sadly, his thoughtful action was met with resistance from one of the security guards present on the field. Mistaking him for a joyous fan who wanted to meet his icon, the guard stopped Hadwin by restraining him on the ground. Fortunately, the air of misjudgment was soon cleared.

Just like others, NFL professional Adam Thielen got his hands on the video and couldn’t help but sneak in a cheeky remark. The star commented, “@ahadwingolf did ask me what it feels like to get tackled for a living, well here ya go haha.“ As a Minnesota Vikings active player, Thielen is not new to the rough tactics of American Football.

The Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin appeared to second that notion. Indeed, American football is one of the most aggressive games in the world. One that involves a lot of tackling, hits, and smothering. So, the query Thielen once received from Hadwin on the roughness of the game was paid back with a remark today. However. the 35-year-old golfer did not disappoint in answering him with similar energy!

However, she delivered the news in her typical style with a top-tier touch of humor. Mrs. Hadwin said that a typical Canadian action from Adam Hadwin’s side followed the tackle. He believed it to be his fault and apologized for the same.

The witty remark was an indication that contactless sports like golf better suit the Canadian professional. Especially after the Sunday mayhem, he would definitely prefer them over the rough, full-of-tackling American football.
