After fuelling his surge to world #1 with a change of caddy in 2010, Luke Donald has made another change to his highly stable backroom staff with the appointment of veteran swing coach Chuck Cook.<\/p>\n

After working with Pat Goss (Donald\u2019s college coach) for over 15 years, the move is the most significant for Donald since his professional split from his brother and caddy Christian Donald in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of telling my brother [Christian] I didn\u2019t want him to caddie for me any more, it was probably the toughest decision I\u2019ve had to make,\u201d he said. \u201cI got to No 1 with Pat and would never take anything away from what we did. But as a player you know what you feel inside, and I want to just feel more in control of my ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald acknowledges the alterations are radical. Chuck is trying to take the \u201cflip out of my swing\u201d and \u201cuse my bigger muscles more\u201d. In short, that means less wrist and more turn. \u201cI\u2019ve come to realise that majors require a different philosophy,\u201d he said. \u201cMost weeks the best putter wins; but majors are an exception.
\n\u201cIt is different to what I did before and it will take time,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019m a fast learner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald will retain Goss for his famed putting and chipping advice and the pair remain on good terms.<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old Cook has a CV boasting six majors won collectively by Payne Stewart, Corey Pavin, Mark Brooks and Tom Kite in the Nineties. But it is Cook\u2019s effect on Dufner which has been most impressive. Dufner was ranked outside the world\u2019s top 650 when he joined Cook five years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
