"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!"

"Better late than never. I've thought about this my whole life," Harman said. "Being the Open champion is just incredible. I just doubled down on my process. I know it's boring and not flashy, but until I hit that last bunker shot, I didn't think about winning this golf tournament."
