Beem On Euros: "They want to win any tournament, but they really want to win the big ones."

John Huggan profiles Rich Beem, who has a lot to say about life on the European Tour (playing off his major championship win exemption) compared with the PGA Tour. This was interesting:

“In the US we sometimes lose sight of what is important. There’s a lot of ‘flash’ over there right now. Wins are what really count though. And major wins count even more. Ask anyone how many events Jack Nicklaus won and not many will know. Ask how many majors he has and almost everyone knows. I would hope that the young kids on the PGA Tour think that way too, because it’s very evident to me that their counterparts over here think of nothing else. They want to win any tournament, but they really want to win the big ones.”
