Henning is likely to have some insight since Johan grew up just south of Gothenburg. Same place as Fredrik Jacobson, who is of more or less the same age.

Johans instructor since last year is Rikard Fors. Recently named Swedens best instructor by Golf Digest. I'd guess Henning knows him and you (Yoda) may have met him if he was present at the PGA session in Tylösand earlier this year.

Rikard Fors was the coach who raised Fredrik Jacobsons to a winner. When Rikard took on Fredrik in 2003 he won three tournaments on the European Tour, among others the prestigeous Volvo Masters at Valderrama. Since then Fredrik has left Fors for Leadbetter.
