Susie "Meyers may be the lone female PGA teaching professional to claim a modern-era PGA Tour winner as a primary student."
/Here's a nice unbylined PGA.com story on 52-year old instructor and former LPGA Tour player Susie Meyers, disciple of Mike Hebron and teaching pro at Ventana Canyon in Tucson, who has been working with Honda Classic winner Michael Thompson since he was 14.
This was interesting:
The synergy between Thompson and Meyers also extends to Thompson's caddie, Matthew "Matty" Bednarski of Lancaster, Pa.
"Michael gave me permission to coach the caddie," said Meyers. "It's a rare chance to communicate everything about what is taking place during a round and learn about the way the two are working together. Matty has been great to work with. It is all part of the plan to help Michael make the next big step."
Last weekend, Thompson made one of those big steps, capturing his first PGA Tour event in the wind and cold at PGA National Golf Club.
