Will Zalatoris surpasses KFT season earnings with U.S. Open T-6

Will Zalatoris received a hefty overnight deposit after cracking the top 10 in a major for the first time in his career.

The 24-year-old received some attention with his ace during the opening round of the U.S. Open, but his weekend play was equally impressive. Zalatoris shot 70-71 over the final two rounds in difficult conditions to move all the way up to a tie for sixth at 5 over. He finished the week alongside world No. 1 Dustin Johnson, and his top-10 finish means he's exempt for next year's U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

"I just found out that obviously top 10 gets us into next year, too, so that's obviously pretty exciting," Zalatoris said Sunday.
