🏌️‍♀️ yes I love golf

Winnipeg-born/B.C. bred golfer Nick Taylor sunk a 72 foot putt on the 4th playoff hole of the Canadian Open to become the first Canuck to win the tournament (aka the 5th major) in 54 years. Rory McIlroy was in contention all week (trying for a tournie 3-peat) but faded on Sunday.

Nick also jumps to No. 6 on the FedEx Cup leaderboard with the win.

The putt and the Nick Taylor “mike drop” (and Jim Nance’s call on CBS):


Very neat different angle (and commentary) on the putt:


Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin (Nick’s friend) gets tackled by security while spraying champagne lol. (Adam’s ok ;-)


The reaction of the other Canuck pros including Mike Weir... as the drought finally ends.
