IMHO the security guard got carried away singling out Hadwin, given all the other people on the green at the time.
Because, nowadays, Canada is a joke of a country, would be my guess. Their response, at a national level, to the COVID pandemic speaks to just how much those people have lost the thread.
It’s not the security guard’s job to decide who gets to rush onto the course waving a bottle. It’s his job to stop anyone who might be a threat, and he doesn’t get to take a whole lot of time to think it over. I think the guard deserves a bonus for quick action.
Don’t they wear some kind of badge or ID to show they are not just part of the crowd?.................
I'm sure they do, but it's a 3"x5" ID on a landyard around his neck. He came running onto the field, spraying champagne at Taylor. It was a split second decision on the part of the security detail, without time to check IDs.
Hadwin was not wearing a badge. He was dressed in jeans and a hoodie. He did not look like a player at the time.
“It’s not the security guard’s job to decide who gets to rush onto the course waving a bottle. “
It was spraying liquid like a gusher!
Completely agree with your statement here. This security dude had a job to do and he did it.
On TV I watched Nick TAylor win yesterday. In an not usual circumstance, a brother of mine (he plays golf twice a weeK) called me shortly before Tommy Fleetwood tied Nick forcing a playoff. He was watching the match on his TV at home. We watched and talked with each other all through to the end. That rarely happens with us - though not quite as rarely as a Canadian winning the PGA Canadian Open (which last happened 69 years ago).
Yikes, could’ve ended that players career if broken bones or anything like that!
Hope he’s ok to play this week, US Open.
He’s fine....................
The events I go to have badges of different stripes and colors, literally, that enable you to visit the event.
The “security state” extremist mentality is everywhere.
“It was a split second decision on the part of the security detail, without time to check IDs.”
So he had to take down the threat. he coulda been an ISIS frogman spraying Sarin over the winner. He might have looked innocent, but that’s just a disguise.
The security state commando extremist mentality rot is everywhere. I’m surprised he wasn’t wearing a plate carrier, or some butch cop tacticool vest festooned with 5 tourniquets, 8 magazines and flexcuffs.
“Hadwin was not wearing a badge. He was dressed in jeans and a hoodie. He did not look like a player at the time.”
Clearly a terrorist threat. if you see something say something. Frisk grandma at the airport. Indoctrinate. Terror is everywhere. Al Qeida frogmen coming out of manhole covers. Cornmeal hell, that is anthrax powder in yo momma’s kitchen. Take ‘em down with extreme prejudice. Send him to Gitmo, terror, fear, terror, fear, and more fear.
He’s lucky he didn’t fall down in a hail of lead I guess.
Security state mentality idiots.

Ah, the good ol’ days, when America knew know to have fun.
Couple of things about dear Morganna ...
1) She was married, the whole time she was “active”.
2) According to wiki she’s blonde and has green eyes. I pass no judgment on whether or not she’s classy.
