Hello, friends! What a week of joy and celebrating moments in sports and beyond.
There was jubilation last Sunday when Canadian golfer Nick Taylor sunk a 72-foot putt to win the RBC Canadian Open. No Canadian has won it since 1954. The happiness emanating from golf communities and fans across Canada has been unprecedented.
But in a comical twist, immediately after Taylor won, his friend and pro golfer, Adam Hadwin, was tackled on the green after being mistaken for a fan. Hadwin was so excited that he ran toward Taylor with a bottle of champagne and was immediately bulldozed by security.

Hadwin took it in stride and with humour.
