European Open Trophy

The European Open is, of course, a European Tour event, and in 2009 it was France's Christian Cevaer who got to hoist the trophy.

"Gaudy" is the word that comes to my mind when looking at this trophy. But is it even really a trophy? Looks more like a scale model of the next Las Vegas casino.

This trophy is responsible for 37-percent of all UFO sightings in Europe.
