The work done with Jamie Rutherford is the ultimate example of score focused coaching as opposed to swing focused. Over a 5 year period, swing work has been limited to 3 key and crucial moves that have not been deviated from.
There is more attention placed on ball flight control and skill development. Jamie has consistently added to his shot tool kit and is evolving into a complete player.
In 2023, Jamie had a super consistent year on the Challenge Tour. He remained in the Top 20 for almost all of the year, except for the final week, eventully finishing 24th on the Race to Majorca. That will earn him at least 10 starts on the DP World Tour for the 2024 season.
