5 million check (a record for the Masters and matching what Young earned for winning The Players Championship last month) vaulted from 24th to second. Young now has more than $7. 5 million and McIlroy is north of $6.
4 million. Jacob Bridgeman, who had led the money list, earned $83,250 for tying for 41st in the Masters, but it wasn't enough to hold on to the top spot. Another big mover was Masters runnerup Scottie Scheffler.
