British Open: How much did Brian Harman, others earn at Royal Liverpool?
Brian Harman rolled to a dominant six-shot win at the British Open on Sunday
Even with rain pouring down at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Brian Harman pulled it off.
Harman rolled to his win at the British Open on Sunday, which marked his first ever victory at a major championship. The 36-year-old mounted a five-shot lead on Friday in Hoylake, England. He carded a 1-under 70 on Sunday, which brought him to 13-under on the week and solidified his six-shot win.
Sepp Straka, Tom Kim, Jon Rahm and Jason Day finished in second at 7-under on the week. Kim fought through a sprained ankle for the last 54 holes of the tournament after he slipped and fell on a patch of wet grass on Thursday night. Rahm set a course record by two strokes on Saturday with his 63, which quickly thrust him into contention. Emiliano Grillo and Rory McIlroy finished at 6-under.
The British Open offered a record $16.5 million purse this week, though that’s actually the smallest among the major championships. By comparison, the U.S. Open offered $20 million last month, and The Players Championship had a $25 million purse in March — which is the largest on Tour this season. Several other events are at $20 million, too.
Harman, who now has three career wins on the PGA Tour, entered this week with nearly $29 million in career earnings. His victory on Sunday earned him a $3 million check.
