Tommy Fleetwood will be feeling more than a ounce of frustration after Keegan Bradley picked his pocket on the 72nd hole of the Travelers Championship, but to add insult to injury, Russell Henley’s chip-in birdie on the last took another $400,000 out of Fleetwood’s wallet, meaning the $3.6 million he was poised to collect with victory was reduced to $1,760,000 for a two-way tie for second. A loss of almost $2 million on a single hole.
Rory McIlroy’s T6 finish – his best since winning The Masters back in April – brought in a shade under $700,000, while Shane Lowry’s solid weekend saw him make steady progress and be rewarded with $54k and change.
At the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Minjee Lee’s three-stroke win was worth $1.8 million to the Australian, while Leona Maguire’s T19 finish results in her highest paycheque of the season. The $131,114 almost doubles her earnings this year to date, and takes her over the $5 million mark in LPGA career earnings.
On the HotelPlanner Tour, Max Kennedy suffered similar heartbreak to Fleetwood, but the €33,000 he earned for finishing solo second is the highest pay day of his fledgling professional career, while James Morrison, who edged Kennedy in a playoff, collects the €48,000 winner’s share.
