Lydia Ko has won just once in the last three years, and David Leadbetter has a lot to say about her struggles.

Ko's former swing coach said in a recent radio interview that not only does Ko need to take some time away from golf, but that she also needs to "find her own way" away from her parents.

The two-time major champ and 15-time LPGA winner most recently triumphed at the Mediheal Championship in April of last year. It was an emotional victory that saw Ko break down in tears.

That win was supposed to be the end of a nearly two-year slump.
