The 150th Open Championship recently concluded at St. Andrews in Scotland. Moreover, we saw fascinating golf throughout the week at the iconic Old Course. Furthermore, the Australian, Cameron Smith, snatched victory at the last moment from Rory McIlroy and registered his first ever major championship victory. 

Cam Smith carded -8 in the final round and finished with a score of -20. Meanwhile, 54-hole leader Rory McIlroy couldn’t match this excellence as he carded -2 and finished two strokes behind the Aussie. Smith received the iconic Claret Jug, which is the oldest major championship trophy. He also became the only Australian golfer to win the Open Championship since 1993. 

On the final day, the world’s No. 2 golfer annihilated the field and made five consecutive birdies from the 10th to the 14th hole. Moreover, this was the five-hole phase that gave him the push while the leader, Rory McIlroy, struggled to make birdies and eventually finished 3rd in the event.

Since this historic victory, Smith has been having a great time and is partying hard with his friends. And recently, James Nitties, a PGA Tour pro from Australia who is also a close friend of Smith, posted a video on his Twitter account. 

In this video, we can see him drinking a beer from the Claret Jug while a shirtless Smith prepares a cocktail for himself in the background. “Beers out of the Claret Jug with the boys,” wrote James. 

And the golfing world on Twitter reacted to this video by sharing their feelings. Meanwhile, a few fans expressed their opinions about Cameron Smith under this tweet, as the 2022 Champion Golfer of the Year doesn’t have a Twitter account. The Australian golfer is not a social media enthusiast, as he seldom makes any posts, even on his Instagram handle.

James Nitties posted a video of pro golfer Aron Price drinking a beer from the Claret Jug while the trophy’s true owner was making a drink in the background. So let us look at a few interesting comments on this tweet.
