Sometimes coaching is as impossible as it is fun.
With two of his players going against each other in the final group Sunday at the Toto Japan Classic, Gary Gilchrist is in an awkward but enjoyable position.
He is swing coach to Shanshan Feng, who leads the tournament. And he is swing coach to Ariya Jutanugarn, who is one shot back.
“I’m proud of having two players performing at a high level,” Gilchrist said. “This game is tough, and it’s never easy to have an opportunity to win. But that’s my goal, to help players be able to shoot scores that give them an opportunity to win on Sundays.
