Keith Mitchell had pulled in just over $US2,000,000 in career earnings before this week’s Honda Classic. His bank account is about to see a nice boost.
Mitchell, in just his 40th start on tour, found pay dirt at PGA National, his nine-under score good enough for a one-shot victory over heavyweights Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler. A feat impressive in itself, especially when considering it was Mitchell’s first win on any professional circuit. The University of Georgia product played the final seven holes in four-under, including an up-and-down for birdie from 130 yards out on the 18th.
The final birdie came off a drilled 15-foot putt. That Mitchell entered the week ranked 218th in strokes gained/putting – out of 221 qualified players – underlines just how money the man was when it mattered the most. For his efforts, Mitchell was rewarded a $US1.2 million winner’s cheque.
Speaking of money … as for the rest of the field, well they got paid pretty well, too. Here’s the Honda Classic payout for every player who played all four rounds this week at PGA National.
