Q. What's your favourite golf course?
AK: Every course I win on.
Q. Which player do you most admire?
AK: Tiger Woods.
Q. What's the best shot you've ever hit?
AK: My approach shot on the par-4 12th in the third round of the Houston Open earlier this month. I'd pulled my drive and left myself with a lot to do - a tough shot in from an awkward stance with a pond on the other side of the green, but I took a wedge and hit it to within a foot for birdie. I told my caddie, "If I don't hit this perfectly, it's going to go 50 yards in the water."
Q. Do you get nervous?
AK: Absolutely!
Q. What's your most treasured possession?
AK: My dog, Rocky.
Q. Who or what makes you laugh?
AK: My friends.
Q. What would you be doing if you weren't a professional golfer?
AK: Really tough question! I honestly can't say.
Q. When was the last time you shouted at the TV?
AK: About five minutes ago!
Q. What are you good at that people may not know?
AK: Eating!
Q. What's your favourite song?

Q. If you're in a club or at a party, do you dance?
AK: Not really.
Q. What's your favourite movie?
AK: The Hangover - it's absolutely hilarious.
Q. How do you relax after a round?
AK: I like to watch reality TV.
Q. Ballantine's likes to "Leave an impression" - do you hope to do this in Korea?
AK: Yes, for sure. My Korean heritage is very important to me and I always feel fortunate to visit Korea.
Q. What would you like written on your gravestone?
AK: That I helped change other people's lives in a positive way.
