The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $896,682 between them, against $12,078 shared by the other three players paid.
The eighteen cheques above come to $908,760 between them. We hold 31 players for the week in all, so thirteen of them took no money: a missed cut, a withdrawal or an amateur place. A place written as T4 is a tie, and everyone tied for it was paid the same.
