CAMERON SMITH has some rather unconventional plans for the claret jug, the trophy that goes to the winner of the British Open.
“I’m definitely going to find out how many beers fit in this thing, that’s for sure,” Smith said in an interview on the first fairway of the Old Course shortly after making birdie on No. 18 to win the title.
A little bit later, after having some time to really get a good look at his prize, Smith was asked to estimate how much beer could fit inside.
“I’m going to guess two,” Smith said. “Two cans of beer.”
Surely that’s not enough to celebrate such an incredible victory, is it?
“I’ll probably have about 20 claret jugs,” Smith guessed, before thinking more realistically. “I’m not sure, mate. To be honest, I’m really tired. It’s been a long week, so I’d be surprised if I make it past 10 or 11 tonight.” AP
