Open champion Cameron Smith comes good on Claret Jug beer pledge - 'How many fit'

Cameron Smith has followed through on his pledge to find out how many beers fit inside the Claret Jug from his celebrations after winning The Open in historic fashion on Sunday. Smith was part of the chasing pack heading into the final round with Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland leading the way.

Smith was then asked in his press conference how much the famous Claret Jug will manage to hold, to which he replied: "I'm going to guess two, two cans of beer."
