1. What goes through your mind when you step up to the tee for every round?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think about putting the ball on the fairway.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. What gives you an edge over your fellow rivals on the course?<\/strong><\/p>\n My maturity because I\u2019ve been doing this for 10 years and I use a lot of sports psychology in my game.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. What do you do to keep yourself in tip-top physical shape?<\/strong><\/p>\n I train with my trainer back home and try to do one hard work-out in a week when I\u2019m on the road.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. Do you have any superstitions on the golf course?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes I like to use the same ball marker for the whole week.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n 5. After a 65, would you get back to the range or take the rest of the day off?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ll go to the range if I have something to work on to improve on my game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. How about after a 78?<\/strong><\/p>\n It will be the same. I\u2019ll practice if I have something to work on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7. What motivates you to excel?<\/strong><\/p>\n Setting goals and trying to achieve those goals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. What do you dislike the most on the golf course?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hitting my ball into a divot on the fairway!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9. Describe yourself in one sentence?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m laidback, motivated and fun to be around.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10. What\u2019s been your happiest moment on the golf course?<\/strong><\/p>\n Shooting a 59 in a tournament in Palm Springs, California in June, 2007.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11. How about the most embarrassing moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n When I shanked my wedge shot on the 10th hole during the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters. That hasn\u2019t happened in a while!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12. Who is your favourite roommate and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n Ben Fox because he is the only one who would stay with me!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13. Tell us one thing about you that not many people know?<\/strong><\/p>\n Some people don\u2019t know that I like to dance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14. Tell us about your first ever full 18 holes and what did you shoot?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think I shot a 102 when I was five years old.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 15. How long did it take you to get to single handicap?<\/strong><\/p>\n It took me about 10 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16. Would you prefer to play on a 7,700 yard golf course or a shorter but penal golf course, why?<\/strong><\/p>\n I like them both but I\u2019m a long hitter so a longer course would suit my game better.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 17. If you were not a golfer, what would you be?<\/strong><\/p>\n I would be a professional DJ or a dancer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18.
