Pete Weber and the historical U.S. Open trophy

[KagusakiUrufu]

I wonder if they made another trophy for him after that incident

[MONOPOLY35]

That sure increased Pete Weber's Popularity.

wasnt petes fault at all the trophy wasnt stong enough

[wewereangels]

poorly designed. it wasn't strong enough to support its own weight, and the metal shattered on contact with the floor. whoever manufactures that trophy should be fired.

[StFidjnr]

don't worry pete nobody's ashamed... except the whole world.

Whoever was responsible for the trophy, making sure it was ready to go, I am sure got an earful. I mean, how could you not attach the base properly. Classic moment. Someone cleaned out their office and just walked away rather than get the boot Monday.

[misturdummie]

did it break apart or was it meant to be loose?

[vanni9283]

I remember reading something saying that it wasn't attached properly.

[mocitypearland]
