FALDO IS GOING BACK TO FUTURE (By Peter Higgs) The Mail On Sunday NICK FALDO has gone back to the teaching methods of David Leadbetter to save his career. But instead of being reunited with the guru from whom he split acrimoniously eight months ago, Britain's greatest golfer has enlisted the help of Leadbetter's closest aide. As Leadbetter said: 'It's like a couple getting divorced and the man then marrying his wife's sister. He's keeping it in the family.' Faldo was at one of the lowest points of his career, having slumped to 103rd in the world, when he asked Mitchell Spearman to check his swing, before the Benson and Hedges International at the Oxfordshire. He had ended his relationship with Leadbetter after 14 years and six major championships last September and taken on the inexperienced Chip Koehlke, an instructor at the Nick Faldo Institute in Florida. But after missing four cuts in his first six starts in Europe this season his prospects of a 12th Ryder Cup appearance looked bleak. But Spearman spotted a flaw in his technique - and the Englishman recorded his first top 10 finish of the year. 'Mitchell has known me for 12 years and he put me on the right wavelength,' said Faldo. 'He came through London just before the B and H and I asked him to give me his five minutes' worth.' 'He was able to add a bit more to what I've been doing. I hope I can see Mitchell again the week before next month's US Open.' Leadbetter backs Spearman to put Faldo back on course. He said 'Nick's in good hands. He'll put him on the right road. Of all the assistants I've had, Mitchell was my closest lieutenant and I'm sure his teaching will be closer to the David Leadbetter philosophy then the Nick Faldo Institute philosophy.'
