The winner showed his amazing skills on the field by staging one of the most watch-worthy back-nine charges ever seen in a major championship. He won the 150th British Open and received the beautiful Claret Jug that has been given to winners since 1873. He said he was going to find out how many beers fit in the jug after he was asked about it multiple times.
