"I sure hope there never comes a day where a kid says, 'I have this putt to win the FedExCup.'"

There's another donation for charity!

From Rich Beem's post second round press conference at Torrey Pines, courtesy of reader Scott:

 Q. Do you think kids will be wanting to win the FedExCup as much as the Masters or U.S. Open?

RICH BEEM: To be honest with you, this is an honest answer, I sure hope not. Because I think that that would be demeaning towards the majors and what everybody grows up -- I mean when I'm out practicing, when you see kids out there practicing, you know, seven-, eight-, nine-year-olds, even 15-, 16-year-olds, "I've got this putt to win the U.S. Open. I've got this putt to win The Masters."
I sure hope there never comes a day where a kid says, "I have this putt to win the FedExCup." I hate to say that because it sound like I'm bashing on the TOUR and the FedExCup and I'm not. I really hope that the kids are dreaming about winning a major championship and winning a title instead of winning something else. I just sure hope not.

JOE CHEMCYZ: Thanks, Rich.

RICH BEEM: Wow.

In NASCAR, drivers can be penalized Cup points for infractions. If that can happen with FedEx, Beem and Freddie will be assessed.

Leading the witness, your Honor. If these journalists had even a hint of perspective, they would ask Hoffman, Goydos or Snedeker if they could only choose one, what would they rather have:
$10 million
or
One major title (besides the PGA)?
