Watch: Mackenzie Hughes congratulates Taylor Pendrith on his The CJ Cup Byron Nelson win with a beer shower
Following Taylor Pendrith's CJ Cup Byron Nelson win on Sunday, May 5, fellow Canadian Mackenzie Hughes celebrated the moment by giving his Kent State teammate a little beer shower.
Pendrith aggregated 23-under over the four days at the TPC Craig Ranch to win his first title on the PGA Tour. On the final day, when he was just a putt away from the win, Mackenzie Hughes was preparing to give his friend a surprise.
He brought three cans of beer, and after a few minutes, he decided to give Pendrith a little shower from behind. Here's the video:
Notably, Pendrith was also present when Hughes won his maiden title at the 2016 RSM Classic. At the winner's press conference, he was asked about Hughes' special gesture.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool," he said. "We're very close, all the Canadians on TOUR, for sure. Me and Mack played together at Kent State with Corey as well. I was there for Mack's first win when he won in Sea Island. I was living in Charleston and drove down. It was a Monday finish.
"Me and my caddie at the time drove down at 3:00 a.m. in the morning to get there, and so I saw him win his first one. It was pretty special for him to be there with a beer waiting for me. It was pretty nice," he added.
