The swing change is obviously not working. Sometimes it's best to leave quirky swings alone.
The other thing is that someone like Lydia Ko or Jordan Speith who rely so much on their putting and short game get into trouble when they lose the feel for that part of the game.
It's especially difficult on the LPGA tour where the difference in driver distance is so great. Lydia and a few others like So Yeon Ryu are going to have trouble competing consistently from 50-60 yards behind the tours longer hitters.
It's amazing how Inbee park has been able to win so consistently, but we're even seeing her not be able to keep up like she once did.
Look at the money list. Other than Inbee the top ten are all very long hitters.When you're hitting a 3 hybrid into a green that many other girls are hitting wedge into it's a lot to make up regardless of how good of a putter you are.
