$6.35m pay day beckons for the winner
Whatever happens, Scott’s in for a massive pay day. The US Open is the most lucrative of the majors, with a total prize purse of US $21.5 million (about AUD$31.76 million). The winner will take home US $4.3 million (AUD $6.35 million). It scales down to US$2.32 million (AUD $3.43 million) for second, US $1.46 million (US$2.16 million) for third, and so on.

He has five PGA Tour wins to his name but has never been in contention for a major, until now.
He is known for his incredible putting and, according to ESPN, is great friends with Scottie Scheffler.
A glance at his Instagram, where he has 127,000 followers, suggests he likes deer hunting and has played golf with Donald Trump (before his second term as president).
