JT torches Medinah, did the U.S. Am upstage the FEC, and Todds revenge

b'Andy and Brendan return from the weekend with much to discuss and begin with results -- from JT\\u2019s win on the dartboard in Chicago, to Pieters\\u2019 return to the winner\\u2019s circle, to some cards secured at the first KFT finals event, and finally to Doug Barron, the longshot monday qualifier who won on the Champions Tour. In the not-playing-for-cash department, they review the finals of the U.S. Amateur at Pinehurst, comparing the conditions and style of that championship to the FedExCup event at Medinah. Is the core golf fan tuning out the FEC in favor of something like the two amateurs the last two weeks and if so, does that even matter? The comments from Adam Scott and Tiger Woods on distance and the one club that\\u2019s become most important while also easier to hit than ever are given full review. A painful \\u201cdump in the cup\\u201d segment does not play favorites, but on the KFT, they reconnect with an old friend and prepare for a full year of #ToddWatch. They wrap by discussing the auto-qualifiers for the Presidents Cup teams and the USA Walker Cup roster.'
