Defending champ Jordan Spieth: I want that jug back

Defending champion Jordan Spieth admitted he was more than a little taken aback by his reaction as he returned the Claret Jug to the R&A at Carnoustie yesterday.

The Texan, who completed the third leg of a career Grand Slam in dramatic fashion at Birkdale 12 months ago by winning the Open Championship by three shots from Matt Kuchar, had not realised there was a traditional ceremony for the champion golfer to hand back golf’s oldest trophy to the organisers.
