So it shrank to $3,778 at the end?? That’s like… insulting for all that effort.
I don’t get how she shot 66-72-66 and still “leads” when everyone else was shooting low too. Like what, the math changes because it’s a payout?
Wait “payout range from $300,000 down to $3,778” sounds like they messed up the numbers or something. Bay Course in Galloway NJ and it’s only like a 2 million purse? Idk but that seems way too low for the bottom.
ShopRite again, so basically grocery money funding golf lol. Also why are so many people tied at 207 getting the same amount like that’s just random points? I feel like someone should get more if they had a better Sunday.
