The ball disappeared into the cup, and the crowd went wild. Taylor pumped his fist in triumph, barely able to believe what he had just done. He made history on Sunday, in front of his hometown fans at Oakdale Golf and Country Club, with a stunning shot that will be remembered for generations.

As soon as Nick Taylor celebrated his historic win, he received a congratulatory message from Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback from Kansas City who is a big fan of golf. Mahomes was impressed by Taylor’s amazing shot, but he made a small mistake in his tweet.

35 YO Golfing Great Nick Taylor, playing in front of his home Canadian crowd, sinks a 72-yard walk-off putt. NFL star Patrick Mahomes couldn’t sit quietly and promptly reacted to one of the Twitter posts, writing “Insane!” However, Mahomes was not as precise as his throws this time. The source Mahomes chose to react to said, “to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open since 1964.” This was not true.

In fact, Nick became the first Canadian to win after 69 years, so factually it’s 1954, not 1964. It’s a long history thing, but we believe Patrick Mahomes is such a busy star and we all love him. The last player from Canada to win the Canadian Open was Pat Fletcher in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver.

That’s not all. Let us help you with one more unbelievable event of an error that happened right after the 72-yard putt. Following Nick Taylor’s winning putt, when Taylor tossed his putter into the air and jumped into the arms of his caddie Dave Markle after the longest made putt of his PGA Tour career, security ran towards a man and tackled him immediately on the ground.

He was Nick Taylor’s fellow Canadian player Adam Hadwin, who was trying to celebrate with Taylor with champagne. Security mistook him for a fan. People surrounding the event instantly regretted and apologized to him, as can be seen in a video that went viral. And talking about Golf, the Chiefs QB is also a great golf player.
