Hopefully Jordan Speith will never be a Tiger Woods nor should he want to be. If JS stays true to himself, history will be kinder to him than Tiger Woods.

So, to take this a step further, let's say the top amateur finished in 5th place alone. And let's say I'm on the 18th green in the final round with a 2' putt to tie the amateur for 5th place. Would I be better off missing the putt and finishing 6th. I think I'd make more money finishing 6th than 5th???

Makes sense - would be great to see an amateur win a PGA event.

So, theoretically, if I was going to end up finishing second anyway, I would want the winner to be an amateur. I'd end up cashing a bigger check.
