In this, an article on the World Wide Technology Championship winner’s share, it also might be of some service to tell how to claim the winner’s share. Or at least Maverick McNealy’s version. No, McNealy’s never won before on the PGA Tour. But he’s come agonizingly close.
He also thinks he knows why, and Saturday, after third-round play at El Cardonal at Diamante, he described what it would take on Sunday.
McNealy had two main thoughts.
“You know, you definitely have to play a little bit more aggressively,” he said. “ It doesn’t mean you have to take it to stupid targets, but you have to go low and shoot a good score to win.”
“Really got to watch my pace,” he continued. “Really just stick to the routine, nutrition, sleep. It’s a long week and been a stressful year for a lot of guys. So if I can just get a couple things tidied up on the range after and put my feet up, get some rest and show up with my best stuff tomorrow.
“I’m really excited.”
With that, here are the money payouts for the World Wide Technology Championship. The total purse is $7.2 million. Golf Channel coverage of the final round starts at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
