Role Reversal: Ben Martin Can Gives Tips to Coach at PGA

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Ben Martin will have to wait to reach his coach if he needs any tips Thursday at the PGA Championship.

That's because Charles Frost will be teeing off two groups ahead of his pupil at Whistling Straits. He and Martin are that rare player-coach duo to make the field for a major championship.

"It's pretty cool to have a coach who can play and teach at the same time," Martin said Wednesday after a practice round. "It will be a special week for us."

Martin turned pro in 2010. He's playing in only his second PGA Championship, after missing the cut last year at Valhalla.
