Lawrie putting faith in Mickelson trainer

Paul Lawrie is hoping what works for Masters champion Phil Mickelson works for him too as he seeks a first European Tour title for eight years in the Italian Open.

Former Open champion Lawrie has not tasted victory since the Wales Open in 2002, but was sixth in Spain last week after a bogey on the 72nd hole when a birdie would have got him into a play-off.
