With non-professionals contending so often this season, it leads to one very interesting conundrum: they are unable to take any prize money.
When Dunlap won again, he had turned professional, so he was able to cash the winner’s check, but Clanton, who is contending once again this week at the RSM Classic in Georgia, is still competing for the Seminoles and thus is playing for free.
“I played great, just made some really dumb mistakes coming down the stretch,” Clanton said after his third-round 68 that left him just three off the lead. “I think that’s just kind of from experience and kind of feeling that pressure again. I think to get myself another opportunity out here to win again is amazing.”
No matter where he finishes Sunday, he’ll take home the same pay share as he did for all of his previous starts: $0.
With that, below is the complete payout breakdown for this week’s RSM Classic. The total purse is $7.2 million.
