The replica of the Claret Jug that John Daly won in 1995 goes under the hammer at an auction house. The price is still surprisingly low.

A good deal? Golden Age Auctions is currently auctioning off the replica of the Claret Jug that John Daly received for winning the 1995 Open Championship in St Andrews. According to the auction house, Daly sold his trophy to Golden Age back in 2015. The auction will run until 17 November and the highest bid for the silver jug is currently just under 80,000 dollars. If similar auctions are used for comparison, the sum is likely to rise dramatically over the next few days: In July of this year, an unknown bidder bought the replica of Gary Player’s third Open success at Royal Lytham and St Annes in 1974 for a whopping 481,068 dollars.
