Ko, Jutanugarn play practice round in Australia
Rolex world No. 1 Lydia Ko and No. 2 Ariya Jutanugarn didnt wait until Thursdays start of the ISPS Handa Womens Australian Open to square off for the first time in 2017.They played a practice round together Tuesday.Actually, thats part of what they hope is a new perk now that they are both being trained under the same coach, Gary Gilchrist. Hes encouraging his players to compete together in practice rounds when theyre back home at their Orlando bases.I think its great, Ko said. I think it just shows what kind of a coach Gary is, and at the same time, it gives trust to me, trying to see what hes done with these girls.Before leaving for Australia, Ko played a practice round at Isleworth in Orlando with Shanshan Feng, Paula Creamer and Yani Tseng, all Gilchrist pupils.Gilchrist was there watching.A few days before that, Ariya and sister Moriya Jutanugarn played with Tseng at Lake Nona.The funny thing is, they have so much fun together, Gilchrist said.Gilchrist believes there are huge benefits for his players competing against each other in practice rounds.They all want to beat each other, but its a healthy rivalry, Gilchrist said. Why should they hate each other and not talk to each other? Theyre all going to make each other better. If the best player wins, she wins. So, you have to go out next time and hole more putts.They all live in the Orlando area. If theyre competing against each other at home, when they go back out on tour, theyll all be better.Gilchrist is based at Mission Inn Resort, just north of Orlando.I told Paula, this is what made her great growing up (at the IMG Leadbetter Academy), Gilchrist said. She played everybody there, boys and girls, and it made her better.There was a guy named Mark OMeara who started playing golf with a guy named Tiger Woods. In one year, Mark OMeara won two majors. If OMeara never played with Tiger, he would never have won those majors. Id put my life on it.
