Golf-Scott follows lead of Day by using coach as caddie

GREENSBORO, North Carolina, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Adam Scott has taken a leaf out of fellow Australian Jason Day's book by coaxing his instructor into doing double duty as a caddie.

Day, who became the 11th Australian major champion when he won the PGA Championship on Sunday, has used Colin Swatton as both a coach and caddie for his entire professional career.

And now Scott has instructor Brad Malone on his bag at the Wyndham Championship, although at this stage it is only a one-week arrangement.

But the 2013 Masters champion does not rule out using Malone more frequently - if that is what Malone wants.
