The AT&T Classic and Severed Hands Trophy

This week is the 40th edition of the AT&T Classic in Atlanta, Georgia. The tournament is played at TPC Sugarloaf and Zach Johnson is the defending champion. After two rounds, Jonathan Byrd leads by three shots over Kenny Perry and Ryan Palmer.

But I’m really more interested in the above photo the PR people sent me.

Is it just me, or is the trophy weird? (Not that it would be the only weird trophy awarded in professional golf.)

What happened to the rest of the golfer? Is he also bronzed and on another trophy?

Is this what happens when you put a death grip on the golf club? Did a doctor have to sever someone’s hands because they couldn’t release the club?

I wonder.
