26.06 Trenerskifte for Tutta igjen:
Tutta går til David Leadbetter
Suzann Petersen skiftet for et par uker siden trener. Hun går fra Gary Gilchrist som hun har hatt fra høsten 2006, til David Leadbetter.

I følge Golf Digest var det Gary Gilchrist som utviklet og trente Michelle Wie før David Leadbetter overtok Wie. Sist tirsdag trente Tutta med David Leadbetter på nærspillsområdet på Interlaken hvor US Open går denne uken.


David Leadbetter har en litt annen filosofi rundt treningen enn Gilchrist. Etter at Tutta gikk over til Gilchrist og duoen Pia Nilsson og Lynn Marriott, har hun vunnet fem ganger på tour'en.

Gary Gilchrist har ikke bare mistet Tutta og Michelle Wie. I fjor mistet han også muligheten til å drive International Junior Golf Academy på Hilton Head Island i Syd-Karolina. Det var Hank Haney som nå driver dette akademiet som utvikler yngre spillere. Gilchrist på sin side svarte med å starte et annet akademi i Florida.

På Tuttas hjemmeside står det ingen ting om trenerskiftet.


Golfweek skrev for et par dager siden blant annet dette om trenerskiftet:

The weekend before Rochester, Pettersen wasn’t feeling good at all about her swing. She called Gary Gilchrist from her Orlando, Fla., home and asked him to meet her at nearby Bay Hill.

Gilchrist is the man who started working with Pettersen a year and a half ago, the man who helped her victory total move from zero to five at warp speed.

By Sunday evening, Pettersen still wasn’t confident with her swing and contemplated pulling out of Wegmans. Someone (she won’t say who) urged her to phone David Leadbetter for an emergency session. Pettersen set up a lesson at 7:15 a.m. Monday at ChampionsGate, hours before her flight to New York.

“I liked what I heard,” said Pettersen, who had never worked with Leadbetter before. “When I left the range I said ‘David, I think I can use this.’ ”

She wasn’t kidding. In Rochester, Pettersen shot 70-65-67-72 to finish two strokes behind Eun-Hee Ji. She delivered the news to Gilchrist on Tuesday, and kept in touch with Leadbetter by phone throughout tournament week.

........
“I think she started doubting me and started doubting my philosophies on how to peak at tournaments,” Gilchrist said. “It’s all mindset. If her off-the-course personality, which is more joking and relaxed, was paired with that same intensity, she would be unbelievable.”

On the range in Edina, Leadbetter went back and forth between two Nike girls – Wie and Pettersen. The advice Leadbetter gave Pettersen wasn’t necessarily ground-breaking information, but it spoke to her straight away. She looked at all the top names and decided on Leadbetter because of his “knowledge and location.”

“The biggest thing (about Rochester) was knowing that what I’m trying to do is the right thing,” Pettersen said.

Leadbetter immediately changed her posture and noted that her clubface was shut. Pettersen comes into the Open with a more efficient swing that utilizes her core and gives a greater variety of shots.

“The strength of her game is she’s so damn strong,” Leadbetter said. “She was working twice as hard as she needed to. ... She was getting so analytical it was ridiculous.”

It’s a more confident Pettersen strutting the fairways of Interlachen this week. She brought back the monstrous Ping Doc 15 putter she picked up from a pro-am partner at the 2007 McDonald’s LPGA. Changes so far this year include new equipment (Nike), new caddie and now a new swing instructor.
