The top of the ladder
The fifteen biggest cheques of the week took $4,592,420 between them, against $854,700 shared by the other seven players paid.
The 22 cheques above come to $5,447,120 between them. We hold 22 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.
