"I'm going to have a couple of pints out of this" - Brian Harman on the celebration with the Claret Jug

After winning the Open Championship, Brian Harman shared that after getting home he would celebrate his win by drinking a 'couple of pints' off the Trophy.

As quoted by The Guardian, he said:

"I gotta thank my wife and family back home. I sure miss them. I can't wait to get back to them tomorrow, but first, I'm going to have a couple of pints out of this here trophy I believe!"

This was the 36-year-old American golfer's first victory in about five years. The last time he tasted success in a tournament on the PGA Tour was in 2017 when he won the Wells Fargo Championship, defeating Dustin Johnson and Pat Perez by a margin of one stroke.
