Kevin first contacted me in December of 2013 when he saw a video analysis I did of his swing from 2010. He had been working on some of the things I mentioned and was also interested in my love of Ben Hogan and his swing mechanics. It didn’t hurt that I was friendly with Kevin’s caddy at the time, A.J. Montecino, who gave me a thumbs up when Kevin asked if he knew me. Kevin sent me swings again in February, and after missing 3 straight cuts and then playing poorly while missing another cut at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, Kevin was frustrated. His plan was to drive from Pinehurst to the Traveler’s in Connecticut, and since I happened to be right on the way he called me and arranged to stay at my house overnight and work for two days at my club in suburban Washington DC. We worked mostly on posture and hip depth, and we also looked at his putting, where I suggested a grip change that he felt good with right away. Kevin left with a good feeling about the work we did and in one of those once in a lifetime flukes went up to the Traveler’s and won the tournament with 7 straight birdies to end the final round. That obviously cemented our relationship and we worked together until December of 2015, during which time Kevin made close to 3 million dollars.
