Lefty's putting mentor to coach in China

XIAMEN, Fujian province: World No 2 Phil Mickelson's putting coach, David Stockton, and his two sons, are the latest coaches to join the Oak Valley Golf Academy in a bid to help China's rising stars, Yu Huey M, president of the academy, told China Daily during the Orient China Ladies Open in Xiamen, Fujian province.

"David and his coaching team have joined hands with the academy and will offer putting and physical training help," said Yu, a Chinese-American, who was born in Hainan province. "The team includes his two sons, Dave Jr and Ron.

"David Sr coaches the world's best golfers so the time available for him to instruct our teens is limited. Dave Jr will coach the other men's golfers and Ron the women."
