Leadbetter - both barrels!

Leadbetter certainly didn't miss Ko's parents with this interview. I think her career to date has been littered with "mistakes" if I'm being honest, including her move to Leadbetter in the first place. She is another talent who is very much in danger of never reaching her potential.

I don't know why you'd think that?

Why?

She was doing fantastically well under her coach Guy Wilson.

Its my information that she spent her first 3 years as a pro working with LB where she did very well. Then in 2016 he parents changed everything and she hasn't done a lot since

She won both her majors under Leadbetter didnt she ? Plus 9 other tournaments

Lexi Thomson's Father is the very same with her.

I'd suggest it was his swing changes that have started the decline and it's been widely debated by many if Leadbetter actually improved or hindered her career.

Either was I do think Ko is in danger of disappearing into the pack instead of potentially dominating woman's golf which she looked very much like doing at one point.

So while she was with LB she was 2, 1 and 1 in the world rankings and 9th the year after she left with a new coach and new clubs at the parents instructions

I think Leadbetter's got it right. Another case of parents living the life instead of letting the child develop themselves.
