How much money did Rory McIlroy, Seamus Power and Shane Lowry earn at the US PGA Championship?

Rory McIlroy and Seamus Power still made large sums of money at the US PGA Championship despite never really getting into contention on the final day.

McIlroy pocketed $436,600 for finishing eighth, while Power was a shot further back in a four way tie for ninth, taking home $357,813.

Shane Lowry finished joint 23rd after a final round 69, which was his best score of the tournament. He pocketed $129,768 as a result.

McIlroy finished runner-up in the Masters thanks to a closing 64 at Augusta National, a round which culminated in wild celebrations from the four-time major winner after he holed a bunker shot on the 72nd hole.

In stark contrast, McIlroy’s closing 68 in Tulsa was followed by him declining to speak to waiting reporters before quickly collecting his belongings from the locker room and heading to his car.

The reaction was understandable given that McIlroy had enjoyed a one-shot lead following an opening 65 from what proved the favourable side of the draw.

A second round of 71 was far from disastrous, but Saturday’s 74 left him nine shots off the pace heading into the final round, a deficit he swiftly reduced thanks to four birdies in a row from the second.

The par threes have been McIlroy’s undoing however – the 33-year-old playing them in five over par in round three even with a birdie on the 14th – and the sixth cost him another shot on Sunday after missing the green and hitting a poor chip to 20 feet.

Good birdie chances went begging on the ninth, 12th and 13th and McIlroy’s faint hopes were ended with a bogey on the short par-four 17th.

Meanwhile, Power finished one under par for the tournament after a final round 72 on Sunday, which included one birdie, a bogey and a double bogey.
