£10.00 for the day. How many of you are going to make the trip to St.Andrews tomorrow. Take your brolleys. Should be an exciting finish!

How I would love to live close by and walk up tomorrow with my tenner!
That would be a good day out.

I wonder how Graham McDowell is doing? He's quite hot.
He's in 64th place JJ at 2 under.
If the current leader wins, he won't get any monetary prize because he's an amateur.

Quote from link :- "Dunne cannot win any prize money so the winner's cheque for £1.15 million is out of reach, but the amateur is able to receive golf kit and equipment from sponsors."

If he turns pro later will he then get the money retrospectvely ?
The £5.25 million prize fund is allocated between the professionals who make the 'cut' (those who miss the cut and go home after the first 2 rounds receive nothing for their efforts).

The leading amateur receives a silver medal, as long as he makes the 'cut', otherwise it is not allocated.

Should Paul Dunne win, I believe that he will only get the silver medal, although I think that he should get the Claret Jug as the leading golfer, with the leading professional receiving the trophy and the first place cheque for £1.15 million. Something was said towards the end of the day's transmission on BBC, but I was only half listening and therefore did not take it in !

I would love to go with entry at only £10, but living in Kent makes it too far to travel for the day !!
