Stephen Gallacher did raise the winner’s trophy but could not pose with it for too long.

Posing for the photographers, Gallacher moved far too close to the water-body adjacent to the 18th green. His action saw the lid of the trophy fall into the water. With the lid not immediately retrievable, he was presented the replica of the trophy. Though some photographers were lucky to click the champion with the original trophy, others had to make do with the winner holding the replica.

The trophy presented to the winner since 1964 has the names of the champions inscribed on a chrome plate and the champion is given a replica for keeps.

In fact, Gallacher came to the media-conference holding the replica. Later, a diver fetched the lid.
