McDowell gets back in the swing at Scottish Open after flashback to 2010 points the way

Peter Cowen’s coaching academy near Sheffield has been broken into 25 times including seven break-ins this year alone, but fortunately tapes of Graeme McDowell’s golf swing in 2010 remain secure.

Cowen replayed the tapes to McDowell ahead of the Irishman shooting a four under par 66 on the opening day of the Scottish Open at Gullane.

McDowell, who has missed the cut in his past two European Tour starts, had raced to six under par before bogeying his closing two holes in a four under par 66 on the par 70 Gullane Golf Club layout.
