It's the biggest purse in world golf and after watching the players go through the grinder all weekend you can't help but think they earned every cent.
Jon Rahm was overcome with emotion as he took victory at the Memorial Tournament to grab the World number one spot from Rory McIlroy and emulate his hero Seve Ballesteros as only the second Spaniard to top the rankings. The big man's margin of victory would have been even higher but for a two-shot penalty for inadvertently moving his ball at address on the 16th hole.
There will be no Brooks and Bryson teeing it up together unless fate brings them together at the weekend. However, there are plenty of choice groups to follow at Torrey Pines when the U.S. Open gets under way tomorrow.
Robert Streb struggled on day three of the RSM Classic but still walked off the final green with a three shot lead over the field. Streb had another bogey-free round but this time had to grind out the pars on the front nine before finding three birdies in his final eleven holes. Emiliano Grillo shot a 65 and is four shots behind, while Kevin Kisner (66) and Kyle Stanley (68) sit five back.
Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are tied at the top of the Valhalla leaderboard ahead of the final round of the 2024 Championship. Sahith Theegala is one stroke back in second, while Shane Lowry has forced himself into contention after matching Schauffele's 62 from Thursday's opening round, including reaching the turn in 29 strokes.
Next week’s PGA Championship at Valhalla is almost finalised.
Canadian Taylor Pendrith has won his maiden PGA TOUR event, capturing THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch with a winning score of -23. Pendrith, 32, hit five birdies and a bogey to claim his first victory in 74 tour starts, his previous best finish a runner-up spot in Detroit in 2022.
World No. 1 and FedExCup leader Jon Rahm returns to the Mexico Open at Vidanta after winning the event in 2022.
Victor Perez put on an incredible display of clutch putting to defeat Ryan Fox in a play-off and win his second DP World Tour title at the 2022 Dutch Open. The Frenchman entered the day in a share of the lead but was three shots back standing on the 17th tee as the in-form Fox put on an impressive display.
Vincent Norrman and Nacho Elvira share the lead at the Cazoo Open supported by Gareth Bale after carding seven-under-par rounds of 64. Norrman, making just his fourth European Tour start this week, set the clubhouse target with a bogey-free round and was joined on that number by Elvira, who carded nine birdies and an eagle on The Twenty Ten Course at The Celtic Manor Resort.
Kevin Na is out after his loss against Adam Long on Thursday, but the group is wide open following Dustin Johnson and Robert MacIntyre's halved match. If both Johnson and MacIntyre win their games it is off to extra holes. It's going to a straight shoot out between Kevin Kisner and Matt Kuchar as both Justin Thomas and Louis Oosthuizen are eliminated after losing on day two.
