The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $950,522 between them, against $10,575 shared by the other two players paid.
The seventeen cheques above come to $961,097 between them. We hold 28 players for the week in all, so eleven 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.
