Q Your No. 1 golf tip for amateurs?

Q What's your favourite sports movie?

A Happy Gilmore. It's such an iconic movie and everybody remembers that scene when Adam Sandler (who plays an ice hockey player-turned-golfer) does the run-up and smashes the ball and everybody tries to do it themselves. I've tried it myself.

Q Worst rule in golf?

Q Greatest sportsman in the world right now?

A Novak Djokovic. He's just so dominant in tennis. The other sports like golf, football, basketball, Formula One... there's no one individual who stands out as much as Djokovic.

Q Golfer you'd pay to watch?

A Tiger Woods. I went to watch him at the 1999 World Cup of Golf at the Mines Resort and Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur. It was the only time I've paid to watch golf.

Q Worst moment in golf?

A Every time I miss a cut. That's the worst feeling. You have to start thinking about packing your bags, checking out of the hotel because you don't want to pay for an extra night. You feel like crap butstill have to deal with all thisadministrative stuff - the last thing you want to do.

Q Worst score on a single hole?

A I shot nine on a par-four at a tournament in China in 2014. There were trees either side and it was a very narrow tee shot. I hit three balls (out of bounds) and don't really remember the rest after that.

Q What did you buy with your first serious pay cheque?

A I finished fourth at the Indonesian Open in December 2014 and earned US$37,500 (S$53,540), which was the biggest pay cheque of my career. It went into the expenses for my wedding a few weeks later.

Q Favourite golf course?

A I would love to play at Augusta National (venue of the Masters). It's iconic and super exclusive. I watch the Masters on TV every year and it's the only Major that's always held at the same course. So your memory of the place is refreshed every year and you see what an amazing golf course it is.
