American Hunter Maham got his Barclays Championship victory off to a bizarre start in breaking in  half the gleaming crystal trophy.

Soon after being handed the trophy, Mahan posed for several photos with officials, volunteers, his wife and daughter and many others.

And before leaving the 18th green for his victorious press conference, Mahan posed for one last photo with David Finn of Ramsey.

As he knelt next to the 21-year-old Finn, who has muscular dystrophy, Mahan set the trophy down hard on the ground and broke it in two pieces and if prompted Finn to laugh and Mahan saying sheepishly:  “David did it!”

A few minutes earlier, Mahan’s one-year-old daughter Zoe nearly pushed over the trophy after it was presented to her father.

In the media tent, when he was asked what happened to the trophy, Mahan smirked.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he said.

Hunter Mahan wonders how the gleaming crystal Barclays Championship broke in half.
