Ryan Fox, the Champion Golfer of the Year, shared his experience of traveling with the Claret Jug after winning The Open at Royal Birkdale. On the Monday following his victory, Fox boarded a flight from Manchester to London and faced challenges at the airport regarding the transport of the trophy. After passing through security with the Claret Jug in a protective case, he approached the gate agent to request carrying it on the plane instead of checking it. Fox explained, 'I meekly got up to the check-in agent with these two boxes and go, 'So, yeah, I've got some special cargo here, is there any chance I can just take these on the plane?' The agent asked what was inside, and after confirming it was the Claret Jug, she allowed him to bring it on board. Fox noted that recognition from other travelers may have contributed to the agent's decision. Interestingly, he was seated behind Cameron Young, who finished as the runner-up in the tournament.
