It pays to play well in major championships, folks. Just ask this week’s winner, Jon Rahm.
It was a storybook day for Rahm as the 26-year-old Spaniard won the 121st U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego on Sunday evening, claiming his first major title at the same place he proposed to his wife and earned his first PGA Tour victory. Rahm made clutch birdies from 25 feet and 18 feet on his final two holes to take the clubhouse lead at 6 under and ultimately defeat 54-hole co-leader Louis Oosthuizen by one.
Here’s how much money each player earned this week at the U.S. Open.
