There are unlikely winners in pro golf, and then there’s Stephen Dodd at the Senior British Open. The 55-year-old Welshman has had some career success, but had played just one competitive tournament in the last 18 months prior to teeing it up last week at Sunningdale outside of London. Yet with a final-round 66, Dodd outlasted by Miguel Angel Jimenez by one stroke to pull off the upset win that comes with some major perks. Dodd now can gain membership on the PGA Tour Champions and he has earned a spot into next year’s Open Championship at St. Andrews.
In addition, Dodd claimed a prize money payout of $392,800 for his upset win from an overall purse of $2.5 million. Here are the prize money payouts for each golfer who made the cut at Sunningdale.
