What is the prize purse at the U.S. Open?

The total prize money at this week’s U.S. Open is $21.5 million, with the winner set to earn $4.3 million.

The prize pot remains unchanged from last year, but it is still the most given out of all four men’s Major Championships.

Of the 156-strong field at Oakmont Country Club, the top 60 and ties made the cut with 67 players - including amateur Justin Hastings from the Cayman Islands - progressing to the final two rounds at seven over or better.

For those professionals who missed the cut, they still earn $10,000.

Sam Burns holds a one-shot lead over fellow American J.J. Spaun at the halfway stage, with Viktor Hovland the only other player under par through 36 holes.

Here is the breakdown of the prize fund:
