Molinari Has Yet To Put The Claret Jug To The Test, And That's Okay

I've wondered about lamenting Francesco Molinari's rather un-Italian approach to the Claret Jug, because a case could be made that having not employed the Open Championship trophy as a proper jug to celebrate reaffirms some dullard status. His reasoning? Last week he was in recovery mode. 

Plus, it's his answer to the idea of some water that makes him fine by me. From Brentley Romine's Golfweek item:

Molinari did say there will probably come a day when something will go into the jug. He just can’t say what or when.

One thing that won’t go in it: Water.

“I’m not a big drinker,” Molinari said. “So to fill it with water would be a bit of blasphemy. I’m sure that there will be times at the end of season when everything comes down that something goes in it, but not yet.”
