The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $3,889,000 between them, against $652,000 shared by the other nine players paid.
The 24 cheques above come to $4,541,000 between them. We hold 24 players for the week in all, so no 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.
