b'We head into the weekend with a lively discussion on some of the early action from Chicago, Prague, Columbus, and Pinehurst. At the BMW, we lament the modern game overpowering what is a beast of a course in Medinah. We also discuss BMW\\u2019s stunning decision to reverse course and stay on as title sponsor. At the Czech Masters, we praise leader Gavin Green\\u2019s pre-tournament prep of \\u201ceating and sleeping a lot.\\u201d With the U.S. Amateur down to the quarterfinals, we go over some of the match play results and the junior presence in the final eight. The decision to also hold the finals on two courses -- Pinehurst No. 4 and No. 2 -- is given critical review. Flashback Friday is a gripping journey from the last days of the \\u201cdick sponsored\\u201d Western Open to some of its earliest\\xa0 blue-blood origins and eventually to a Chicago event that had the irate loser in an Allenby-esque fit of rage wandering aimlessly around the Chicagoland area.'
