How often are you in the gym?
I workout with a trainer one-two times a week and I workout almost every day by myself. When I am in the gym I mainly focus on working the big muscles, like my chest, legs, and butt. I allocate more time to working out my lower body though, because if you want to have a strong, repeatable, consistent swing you have to have a stable and solid base, and that comes from increasing leg strength.
How long have you been playing golf?
I have been playing golf for about 10 years now; I started when I was seven.
What are you thinking about when you play a competitive round? Are you relaxed and talkative, or are you focused and silent?
During the round, I try to stay in the moment and stay focused on the shot I am about to hit. I try not to think about shots that I have hit, or shots that I might have to hit, or possible outcomes of the tournament or my score. By doing this, I am able to put 100 per cent effort into each and every shot. Between shots, I am relaxed and talkative, but when I start my routine and prepare to hit, I am focused.
What got you hooked on golf and what keeps you coming back?
I think golf is very challenging and because of that you will never be perfect. But I’m trying to do the best that I can to be perfect, so I keep coming back.
What drives you to succeed?
I think it is my attitude towards golf. I will never give up and never stop working. When I first started playing golf my mum was really against it. I want to prove to her that I can become a good player. This really drives me to succeed, because I want her to see that I can be successful playing golf, this helps me focus whenever I am practicing on the range, or playing in a tournament.
What are your future goals?
I want to be a tour player, I know that for sure. First, maybe I’ll play on the Asian Tour. Then step-by-step, I want to try and work my way up and play in higher and higher class tournaments.
