After 18 holes at the 2025 British Open, eyes tend to go to to the top of the leaderboard but also the projected cutline.

Through the first round of The Open 2025, there is a five-way tie for the lead at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland

The Open Championship prize purse for 2025 will be the same as the 2024's, a total of $17 million. The winner will claim a significant portion of the total, $3.1 million, while the runner-up will claim $ 1.7 million and the third place finisher will take home $1.1 million.

Matt Fitzpatrick is obviously on the younger side of that spectrum and while he has not won a major since his victory at the 2022 U.S. Open he has had moments of greatness in the aftermath. Already sitting at 2-under on the par-3 16th... Fitzpatrick dunked one in to tie what was the lead at the time.
