In Padraig Harrington's return home to Dublin it seems that the Claret Jug went with him everywhere. One night he went into a local cafe in Dublin for a bite to eat and didn't want to leave the Jug in the car so he brought it into the cafe and sat it on the table next to the pizza that he ordered making for a grand site in the cafe. The following night Harrington dragged the Jug with him to a pool hall for a session of darts and pool with his four brothers. Harrington takes the Jug with him everywhere, safely tucking it away in his carry on. The Jug has been everywhere, to America when he played in the PGA Championship, he took it with him to the HSBC World Match Play Championship at Wentworth and then onto Bermuda for the Grand Slam of Golf. Harrington then packed the trophy into his hand luggage for a flight to Morocco where he was successful in clinching the Hassan II Trophy in Rabat.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of a major win, and showing off the trophy just proves how happy and excited he is to have won. What's wrong with that? I remember when Mike Weir won the Masters, I don't think he took the green jacket off for months!
