Phil Mickelson was awarded the Claret Jug and given a large wad of cash for his performance on Sunday at the 2013 Open Championship.

Mickelson played extraordinarily well in the final round at Muirfield, shooting a five-under 66 after birdieing six holes—four of which were part of the last six—and bogeying just one. Playing three under for the championship was more than enough for Lefty to win his fifth career major tournament.

The victory also earned him $1.4 million.

Here’s a look at the champion and his newest prized possession, per the official Twitter account for the PGA Tour:

While no one played nearly as well as Mickelson did throughout the tournament, there were several other golfers who made out quite well at The Open Championship in terms of big pay days.

Here’s a look at the top performers from the week, as well as a full breakdown of how much everyone earned for playing.
