Catriona's sixth place in Safeway
Classic earns her $42,842

Catriona Matthew finished joint sixth in the weekend LPGA Tour's Safeway Classic won by American Cristie Kerr after a three-way play-off with Sofie Gustafsson and Helen Alfredsson.
Catriona earned $43,842 boosting her season's tour earnings to $344,202, which puts her 45th in the money table.
Janice Moodie tied for 36th place in the Safeway Classic, earning $9,052 and giving her a season's running total of $157,010 (62nd place).
Mhairi McKay did not survive the cut and did not add to her season's earnings of $75,019 (104th place).

EQUALITY OF SEXES NOTE:
Catriona Matthew finishes joint sixth in the LPGA Tour's Safeway Classic and earns $43,842.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in America on Sunday, fellow Scot Martin Laird finishes joint seventh in The Barclays Championship and collects a pay cheque for $203,700.
Maybe that's why Michele Wie has a thing about playing in men's events - the rate of pay is so much higher!
