OPEN WINNER'S CHEQUE RAISED TO £900,000 AT ROYAL ST GEORGES

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE R AND A
 Prize money will be increased for the 2011 Open Championship, The R&A today announced. In 2011, the prize fund will rise to £5 million, with the Champion receiving £900,000.
The Open Champion’s purse has been increased by over 5%, from last year’s figure of £850,000. The total prize fund remained at £4.2 million for 2007, 2008 and 2009, before being increased to £4.8 million for the 150^th Anniversary Open, last year.
"Each year The R&A strives to ensure that The Open provides the very best in all areas of the event,” said The R&A’s Chief Executive, Peter Dawson. “From spectator and media facilities, to player experience and performance reward, every aspect of The Open is under regular review to ensure it remains at the forefront of championship golf."
There is less than one week remaining in which to purchase Open Championship tickets at advance-purchase prices. Until the end of June, daily tickets for the 2011 Championship at Royal St George’s are available for £55, while season tickets, permitting entry on all eight days, cost £220.
For just £110, a family of five can enjoy a day at golf’s oldest Major, by taking advantage of The R&A’s established ticketing policy, which grants free access to any juvenile, aged 16 or under, who is accompanied by a paying adult. Those travelling from the capital on Championship days can also take advantage of Southeastern’s ‘Kids for a Quid’ promotion, which allows accompanied five to 15-year-olds to travel to the venue for just £1.
With International Marquee tickets sold out for the four Championship days, limited numbers of Wednesday tickets are still available. Hospitality can also still be purchased, with Open Championship Official Hospitality fine-dining packages remaining on sale for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Half-price entry to The Senior Open Championship, which is being held the following week at Walton Heath Golf Club, Surrey, will be granted on production of a valid Open Championship admission ticket.

US TOUR LEADER CANTLAY SAYS HE'LL PLAY AT ROYAL ABERDEEN

FROM THE GOLF.COM WEBSITE
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Patrick Cantlay showed up at the Travelers Championship with no intentions of turning pro until he finishes his last three years at UCLA.
A record round Friday on the US PGA Tour - just one week after he was low amateur at the U.S. Open - makes that a tougher decision.
In what already has been a month to remember, the 19-year-old Cantlay turned in his most inspiring moment yet by breaking the course record at TPC River Highlands with a 10-under 60 for the lowest round ever on tour by an amateur.
Last week, the sophomore-to-be at UCLA said the earliest he would turn pro would be "after I get my degree." But after two strong rounds put him atop the leaderboard in the rain-suspended second round, he was starting to soften.
"I'm going to stay amateur definitely for the Walker Cup," Cantlay said of the premier amateur event in September at Royal Aberdeen. "And my plan is to stay amateur until I finish college."
Taking advantage of soft condition and preferred lies on the soggy TPC River Highlands, Cantlay tied the tournament record set by Tommy Bolt in 1954 when it was played in Wethersfield.
Cantlay birdied the final two holes to reach 13 under. After shooting a 67 on Friday morning in the rain-delayed first round, he had eight birdies and an eagle in the afternoon. It was his second eagle of the day on the par-5 13th.
He said he had no idea that he was setting an amateur record.
"I knew where I was. I knew I needed to make eagle on 18 for 59," he said. "It's tough to hole it from 152."
But he came close. His approach landed just above the hole and rolled back to just over 2 feet below the pin.
"I thought it had a chance, it was covering the flag pretty good," he said. "It takes some luck."
The way his month has been going, he might have expected it to go in. Cantlay received the Jack Nicklaus Award from the Golden Bear himself on June 5 at the Memorial, and the next day qualified for the U.S. Open at a sectional site filled with PGA Tour players. Then after opening with a 75 at Congressional, he followed with rounds of 67-70-72 to be low amateur, finishing in a tie for 21st.
Despite his youth, he has been around the game long enough to realize he still is only halfway there - and some players have yet to even finish their second round. Cantlay was at 13-under 127.
D.J. Trahan (62), Webb Simpson (65) Alexandre Rocha (66) and Vaughn Taylor (66) were tied for second at 9-under 131, while Andres Romero was 9 under through five holes of his second round.
Play was suspended because of darkness just after 8 p.m. Seventy-seven players are scheduled to complete the second round Saturday.
Players had perfect scoring conditions Friday with rain-softened greens and little wind. And because of the wet conditions, players were allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls hit in the fairway, another big advantage. The projected cut line was 3-under par.
"A day like today, play good in the first round, you just kind of keep it going," Taylor said. Generally, your swing feels the same and your game feels the same, so you just kind of stay in it and just keep playing."
An amateur hasn't won a US PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in the 1991 Northern Telecom Open in Arizona. If Cantlay wins, he would have 60 days to decide whether to accept a spot on the tour and the two-year exemption that goes with it.
Four players have shot 61s at the TPC River Highlands course. The last was Kenny Perry in 2009.
Tour rookie Jim Renner shot 29 on his first nine holes and finished his first round with a 63, good enough for a one-stroke lead heading into the afternoon.
But he started his second round with a bogey, a par and a double bogey and finished the day at 3-under.
Renner had played in just one Tour event before this season and earned his card though qualifying school. He grew up in Plainville, Mass., and said this tournament was the first PGA Tour event he ever attended.
"I think I walked about four holes and realized I was ready to go home," he said. "I was 14."
The shot of the day came from Heath Slocum, who holed a 160-yard shot across the water to eagle the signature 17th hole. He finished his two rounds at 7 under.
But Cantlay stole the show, and received a standing ovation from the sparse crowd as he walked up the 18th fairway.
"It's just one round," he said. "It was a good round, and I played really well. Nothing bad happened. I'm really proud of it, but I've got a couple more rounds to play."

NEIL RAYMOND HALFWAY LEADER BY TWO IN BRABAZON TROPHY

FROM THE ENGLISH GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Neil Raymond is stamping his mark on the Brabazon Trophy, supported by SkyCaddie. A second round 68 allied to his superb opening 70, leaves the England international on 138, four under par, and two strokes ahead of the field at the halfway mark.
Ireland’s Alan Dunbar also carded 68 to be Raymond’s closest challenger, while another Irishman, Reeve Whitson and Philip McLean from Scotland are joint third on 145, seven shots adrift of Raymond.
After the ravages of the wind-dominated opening round at Burnham and Berrow, day two was a story of calmer and much cooler conditions with rain closing in late in the afternoon.
Consequently, scoring was generally much lower while the cream certainly came to the top over the challenging Somerset links.
But Raymond was as solid as ever although he was still a little frustrated with his putting. “I tried to think about the differences in distance the drives would travel in the different conditions to put myself in good positions off the tee,” he said.
“It worked well but some of my putting still left me frustrated. I hit a lot of greens and gave myself a lot of chances. I’m happy but there is a long way to go. I’ve got to keep plugging away and get the putting a bit better. I feel I can hole a lot more.”
Despite his misgivings about his form on the greens, Raymond still signed for five birdies but had back-to-back bogeys at the fifth and sixth in an outward 35.
Raymond apart, there is a distinct celtic feel about the leaderboard with the Irish, Scots and Welsh well in the hunt, none more so than Dunbar, who also came home in 33 for his 68.
He would have been sharing the lead if he hadn’t finished bogey-bogey. “I didn’t hit a bad shot at the short 17th but it got a bad bounce,” he admitted. “I chipped to ten feet but missed the putt.
“But I did hit a bad tee shot at 18 into the rough and missed from eight feet for par. It was a disappointing finish but I played well and had it going for a while.” He certainly did as the 21 year old from Rathmore found six birdies.
McLean, omitted from Scotland’s European Men’s Championship team, returned a bogey-free 69 with just two birdies, at the third and eighth. “Strangely I didn’t hit the ball was well as yesterday but I scrambled really well,” he said.
“I struggled off the tee for the first eight holes but I putted well and holed a lot of ten to 12 footers for par.”
Whitson, from Ireland, slipped back slightly with 72 after an indifferent front nine of 38 that contained a run of three successive bogeys from the fifth. But his four birdies rescued the round from serious damage.
On a day when 15 players beat par, three England internationals moved themselves into contention. Todd Adcock returned 72 and Dave Coupland 69 for a share of fifth place on 146, while Andy Sullivan is a shot further back after a 72.
Josh Loughrey is another in fifth after a 70, while boy cap Seb Crookall-Nixon added 71 to his opening 76 to book his place for the weekend.

The halfway cut came at 154, 12 over par with 69 players surviving for the final 36 holes. Defending champion Darren Wright departed on 155 but had the satisfaction of a 69 as he prepares for the European Men’s Team Championships in Portugal.

STENSON AND COETZEE SHARE HALFWAY LEAD IN MUNICH

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Sweden's Henrik Stenson and South African George Coetzee share the lead at the halfway stage of the BMW International Open in Munich.
But they arrived on ten under par by very different routes. Stenson bogeyed his last two holes for a 70, while Coetzee birdied two of his last three for a second successive 67.
"It's never fun to finish with two bogeys, but you gain some, you lose some - sometimes that's the way it is," said Stenson.
The former World Number Four, now 124th on the Official World Golf Ranking after more than two years without a win, had been three clear of the field when he followed a chip-in at the eagle on the long sixth with a tap-in birdie at the 441 yard next.
"I'm in a good position and I'm feeling very good," he added. "I had to fight a little bit early on, but I managed to stay patient."
Coetzee has yet to taste victory on The European Tour and has yet to play in a Major Championship, but that will change in three weeks - he earned a place in The Open Championship at the sixth hole of a play-off earlier this month.
The 24 year old from Pretoria is a four-time winner on the Sunshine Tour and stated: "I believe I can win every single event there and the more I get in contention in Europe the more I will believe I should be up there."
One shot back in third place is Spain's Pablo Larrazabal - the player Coetzee beat in near-darkness at The Open Championship qualifier.
He could still make it to Sandwich with a top two finish this weekend, however, and commented: "I really want to play, so I am just going to go for it."
Larrazabal is also looking to make amends for what happened at this tournament a year ago.
He led with three holes to play, but double-bogeyed the 16th, bogeyed the 17th and lost by two to England's David Horsey.
On his return to the 16th today he spun his approach into the cup for an eagle 2.
"It's given me confidence - I'm not scared of that hole," he added.
His compatriot Sergio Garcia, not in The Open Championship yet either, is six strokes back after a 71, but World Number Three and local hero Martin Kaymer moved to six under with a 68.
Austria's Markus Brier, Welshman Bradley Dredge, Dutchman Tim Sluiter and English duo Simon Khan and Mark Foster share fourth place on eight under.
The cut fell at two under, so Colin Montgomerie made it with nothing to spare the day after his 48th birthday, but Paul Casey's closing eagle was of no use - he still missed by three after a 73.
