Joy Drop: Happy 40th to the Ageless Sinc! Speak up for the GOAT
Hello friends! What a week full of joy and celebrations in sports and beyond.
There was jubilation last Sunday when Canadian golfer Nick Taylor sank a 22-yard putt to win the RBC Canadian Open. No Canadian has won it since 1954. The happiness emanating from golfing communities and fans across Canada is unparalleled.
But in a comical twist, immediately after Taylor won, his friend and professional golfer, Adam Hadwin, was tackled onto the green after being mistaken for a fan. Hadwin was so excited that he ran over to Taylor with a bottle of champagne and was immediately bulldozed by security.

Hadwin took it with long strides and humor.
