How Much Matt Fitzpatrick Won At The FedEx Open De France

The excitement and heartbreak of last week's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, made way for another big event in the DP World Tour season, the FedEx Open de France at Le Golf National.

With 18 holes remaining, Matt Fitzpatrick had seized the initiative, building a five-shot lead over Frenchman Tom Vaillant on 19-under-par.

Considering the year Fitzpatrick is having, which includes three wins on the PGA Tour, it would have been a surprise if he didn't secure his 10th DP World Tour title, and that's exactly what happened.

Fitzpatrick shot a final-round 70 to finish on 20-under-par to beat Angel Hidalgo by three shots. In the process, it secured him a sizeable payout.

Despite its prestige as a national open, there was a slightly smaller tournament purse on the line compared with a number of other events on the schedule during this part of the season.

For example, there was $9 million available at the BMW PGA Championship and $6 million at the Irish Open before that, while next week's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has a $5m purse.

The Open de France had a $3.75 million payout, with $637,500 going to Fitzpatrick. Last year, Michael Kim picked up a check for $552,500 from an overall pot of $3.25 million.

Hidalgo scoops $412,500 for his runner-up finish as well as a place in The Open because the event was the first of The Open Qualifying Series.

The financial rewards for each pro aren't what they will see in their bank account, though, because amany factors reduce how much money they really see.

While everyone who made the cut will claim a helpful pile of cash, each will also earn a proportional share of the Race to Dubai points, with those eligible also claiming Ryder Cup qualifying points.

Below is the prize money payout in Euros for everyone who made the Open de France cut.
