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.
