Jordan Spieth is already chugging beverages out of his new Claret Jug
The new British Open winner and champion golfer of the year has a full year to enjoy his trophy and he's making use of it quickly.
It did not take long for video to surface of Jordan Spieth enjoying his first beverage out of his Claret Jug. A few hours after receiving the most prestigious trophy in sports on the 18th green of the British Open, Justin Thomas snapped the first video of Spieth chugging ... something? from the new hardware.
The proper way to celebrate winning the British Open.

Thomas and Spieth are, you may have heard, close friends going all the way back to their days playing junior golf against and with each other. The two often share houses and travel together at these majors, along with a few others like Jason Dufner, Zach Johnson, and Rickie Fowler. We know Spieth was sharing a house with at least ZJ this week and it's possible they're all on the same charter back to the States. Rickie and JT already posted a photo trying to abscond with the trophy.
This is not the first time Spieth has taken a sip from the Jug. In 2015, after just missing out at a third straight major at The Open at St. Andrews, where ZJ eventually won, a now-famous photo went around of Spieth borrowing Johnson's new jug on the flight home.

That was allegedly bad luck but Spieth is impervious to such things and now he has the Jug all to himself for a year. And he's getting to work quickly with it.
