Pettersen shares Manulife lead, credits Harmon

Suzann Pettersen is looking for her first victory since switching to Butch Harmon as her swing coach at the end of last year.

With a 7-under-par 65 Friday at the Manulife LPGA Classic, Pettersen took a share of the lead with Mariajo Uribe. They’re at 13 under overall at Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

Pettersen claimed five titles worldwide in 2013, including her second major championship, but she battled a nagging back injury through much of 2014 and struggled to find her best form. She also battled through a left shoulder injury this spring, but she seems to be getting comfortable with returning health helping perfect new swing changes.
