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

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.
