Barkley says he'll switch to playing left-handed

After all this time, Charles Barkley may have finally found the cure for the hitch in his golf swing - standing on the other side of the ball.

In the announce booth after his round at the American Century Championship on Saturday, Barkley disclosed that he will soon undergo right hip replacement surgery after having his left hip done after the American Century last year.

Once he's healthy, Barkley intends to set out down a new path.

"What I've been thinking about ... to be honest with you, and I've talked to Hank Haney a little bit, I think I'm never going to get over this mental thing swinging the golf club right-handed," he said.
