Don’t feel bad for Xander Schauffele having to return the claret jug when he arrived at Royal Portrush to defend his title in The Open. It’s not like he had anywhere to keep it.

Schauffele has won eight times in his PGA Tour career. That includes two majors, the British Open and the PGA Championship. It includes the Tour Championship in his rookie season. And it includes the Olympic gold medal from Tokyo in 2021.

Star golfer Xander Schauffele told the Associated Press on Tuesday that his parents store all of the various trophies and awards he's won over the years in San Diego, "probably in a bank vault."
