The RBC Canadian Open had a wild finish on Sunday as Nick Taylor sunk a 72-foot putt to defeat Tommy Fleetwood in a four-hole playoff – the longest putt of his career in the longest playoff.

Taylor was also the first Canadian to win the country’s national title since 1954, which led to a raucous celebration both on the green between Taylor and his caddie and among spectators.

There were also a bunch of fellow competitors that were in street clothes looking on after their rounds had finished to see how the thrilling end would turn out.

For Adam Hadwin, a fellow Canadian, his excitement boiled over into him running on the green to spray Taylor with what looked to be a bottle of champagne.

While his intentions were pure, security thought otherwise.

Video shows Hadwin not being recognized by security, who were prepared for a possible situation like this. He was tackled to the turf and surrounded by more security personnel while Taylor and his caddie continued to celebrate.

"Gutted for Tommy but what a way to win your national open! Mad Scenes! Praying for Adam Hadwin, what a tackle," British golfer Tyrrell Hatton, who finished at 16-under for third place just behind Taylor and Fleetwood, tweeted Sunday.

Security appeared to recognize Hadwin after they got him to the ground as separate video showed them quickly picking him up off the green and allowing him to celebrate with Taylor.

But Hadwin’s celebration was warranted as the Canadian Open feels like the U.S. Open for Canadian golfers, and it’s an extra special moment when a compatriot wins it all.

It all started when Taylor and Fleetwood were deadlocked at 17-under for the tournament after their final round on Sunday, which forced a playoff. They both returned to the 18th tee box to tee off, but no one expected three more holes to ensue after that.

Both players had a chance at birdie on the par-5 when they walked up the 18th green, and Fleetwood buried the putt to put the pressure on Taylor, who had a closer look at the hole. Smooth and steady, he hit it to force another trip back to 18.

On this trip, both players shot par, which led them to Hole 9 for a tough par 3 look. Again, both players parred.

It wasn’t until that fourth playoff hole where Taylor was on the green for a chance at eagle, but he was 72 feet from the hole. The chances of sinking the putt for the victory were miniscule.

Taylor defied the odds and sunk the 72-foot snake, which led to immediate joy between him and his caddie. The rest of the crowd followed suit, and unfortunately, Hadwin paid a little price for wanting to celebrate, too.

Hadwin finished tied for 12th at the end of the tournament at 11-under following his final round 68.

Martin Truex Jr. won at Sonoma Raceway for the fourth time in his career Sunday, passing Chase Elliott for the lead after a final-stage restart and holding off Kyle Busch for his second NASCAR Cup Series victory of the season.

The 42-year-old Truex confidently drove his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to another victory on the hilly road course at the base of Northern California wine country, where he also won in 2013, 2018 and 2019. Only Jeff Gordon has more victories (five) at Sonoma than Truex, who earned the 33rd win of his Cup career and his second in the last six races after winning at Dover.

Elliott finished fifth in his return from a one-race suspension for deliberately wrecking Hamlin at Charlotte. Elliott, who has missed seven races this season, twice held the lead in the final stage before Truex blew past him on fresher tires. Truex has seven top-10 finishes in his last nine races.

"Hats off to my team," said Truex, who finished 26th at Sonoma last year. "To be so bad last year, and to come back and do that with basically the same car, is incredible. ... My team is doing everything right."

Joey Logano was third behind Busch, with Chris Buescher in fourth.

Truex and Busch, who was 2.979 seconds behind in his Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, had the 11th 1-2 finish of their long Cup careers.

"Not too bad," said Busch, who won last week's Cup race outside St. Louis. "Just wish we had a little bit more. I was just trying to keep him honest there at the end."

Truex appeared to be cruising toward victory before pole-sitter Denny Hamlin spun after he made contact with the wall with 19 laps to go. Hamlin's car slid sideways across the start-finish line.

Elliott led coming out of the caution with 15 laps left, but Truex surged up on fresh tires and reclaimed the lead for good.

"This is why you go through years like you did last year," Truex said. "You just never give up and keep going."

Tyler Reddick started second in his bid to win for the fourth time in the Cup Series' last six road course races, but the Northern California-born driver steadily slipped down the standings. He got back up to second in the final stage before his pit stop, but he blew a tire with 14 laps left.

Defending champion Daniel Suárez also struggled to make headway after starting in ninth, ultimately finishing 22nd.

Hamlin led the first 32 laps from the pole before Truex passed him in the second stage. The race was caution-free until the 49th lap, when Busch took the lead by not pitting before Truex reclaimed it on fresh tires with 42 laps to go.
