Prize money for Open at Royal Lytham frozen at 2011 levels

The prize money for next week's Open Championship at Royal Lytham has been frozen at the 2011 rate with the winner of the Claret Jug picking up £900,000, the same as Darren Clarke at Sandwich last July.

The total purse of £5m has been kept the same with the runner-up earning £520,000 and those other finishers in the top-10 taking home six-figure cheques.

Players who make the halfway cut will be guaranteed at least £9000 while those who fail to make the grade and finish near the foot of the standings after 36 holes will still pocket £2350.
