As we have seen before in this Seniors Championship, the arrival of a new payout level has influenced play during the last half hour or so. With exactly 100 players remaining at the moment, many seniors are playing tighter to avoid busting in 100th place. The reason for this is the jump from $3,106 to $3,613 in prize money which comes with advancing to the double-digit places.

With more payout jumps scheduled for every eight eliminations, we expect the prospect of earning a little more cash to continue affecting tournament strategy.
