The Contest is stroke play, meaning the aggregate score for the contestant's

eliminated from the contest provided there are at least 3 contestants to have
survived the cut.
The top contestants, ranked from lowest to highest aggregate score, at the

payouts.
1 Contestant to survive cut ... will receive the first prize payout.
In these 2 instance those remaining contestants with 3 players to have
survived the cut will compete for the remaining unclaimed prize payouts.
If an entry has a missing selection, the empty selection will be replaced by
the golfer with the highest (best) ranking from the same performance group. If
