The overall purse for this years US Open was $12.5 million with a cool $2.25 million (R32.1 million) going to Rahm. The PGA Championship bumped up its purse to $12 million last month while Augusta National offered $11.5 million at the Masters in April. When the Open Championship was last held in 2020, the R&A awarded $10.5 million in prize money. Louis Oosthuizens runner-up finish was worth $1.35 million (R19.3 million) which will certainly come in handy when paying off the new purchase or a new tractor  or two! Oosthuizens performance at Torrey Pines also saw him jump from 18th to 12th in the latest world golf rankings. A player of Oosthuizens calibre should certainly be a permanent fixture inside the worlds top 10. Of the nine South Africans who started the tournament, six made the cut. Behind Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace was next best with an impressive tied-seventh finish which saw him walk away with $306,893 (R4.4 million). Charl Schwartzel took home $125,363 (R1.8 million) for his tie for 19th, while Christiaan Bezuidenhout earned $71,030 (R1 million) for his T31 finish. Dylan Frittelli made $32,351 (R460 000) for his four days work, while Wilco Nienaber is $22,814 (R325 000) richer today. As a side note, Horace Rawlins, who won the inaugural US Open in 1895 as a 21-year-old, pocketed $150. And the greatest golfer of all time, Jack Nicklaus, in his 44 US Open starts (which included four wins) made a grand total of $363 955. Scary stuff!
