(Reuters) - British Open winner Cameron Smith has confirmed the venerable Claret Jug trophy he won on Sunday can hold two beers after testing its capacity while celebrating his maiden major title.

The Australian staged one of the greatest back-nine charges ever witnessed at a major championship to win the 150th edition of the British Open on Sunday and receive the trophy that has been handed to winners since 1873.
