hey Jesse? why doesnt pdga.com show the Masters payout for Channy? Open division is shown, but it shows nothing for getting 2nd place in Masters?? Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

I’ve been in touch with Andrew Sweeton the PDGA Tour Manager and he said it should be fixed sometime this week. Sorry about the delay.
