This might be a first...Champion Golfer of the Year @HenrikStenson takes the Claret Jug jet skiing! (via @cnn) pic.twitter.com/22ETxyvwdg — The Open (@TheOpen) November 19, 2016
In recent years the claret jug has been used to hold a $40,000 bottle of wine and an ear of corn.
This year ... it was given a ride on a jet ski, courtesy of Henrik Stenson.
As part of the CNN show “Living Golf,” the reigning Champion Golfer of the Year took the trophy on a joy ride around Lake Nona at his home in Florida.
For anyone worried about the safety of the historic prize, fear not. The jug sported it’s own mini life jacket just in case it went overboard.
