Going Head to Head

A new weekly series which pits the Asian Tour's stars against each other through a variety of identical questions.

Jeev Milkha Singh v. Thaworn Wiratchant

How do you warm up?

Singh: I normally swing with a heavy club, then with a rhythm club and then start with the sand wedge and working upwards. I'll do yoga for 30 minutes in the morning.

Thaworn: I'll start with my sand wedge and move up to my pitching wedge, and seven iron. If I feel good with my driver that week, I won't hit any drivers at the range. Then I'll chip and putt before going to the first tee.

What do you do after completing a round?

Singh: Depending on the time, I'll normally have lunch and then hit the range. I'll hit some balls and chip and putt as well to finish off.

Thaworn: If I feel like I need to practice, then, I'll go to the range. Otherwise, I'll head home.

It takes 45 minutes to get from hotel to golf course. How do you kill the time in the bus?

Singh: I normally play the golf course mentally, each hole and say positive things to myself.

Thaworn: Sleep.

What's the worst thing that you fear when you are playing?

Singh: Making mental errors.

Thaworn: Playing poorly.

You've just shot a 63. What will you do after the round?

Singh: Just try to observe the positive vibes from that and remember how I did it. I'll try to tell myself that I've shot a 63 and will try to do it again.

Thaworn: I won't go to the range for sure as others might be thinking I'm showing off!

How about after a round of 80?

Singh: Forget about it and hit the range. I'll probably be hitting as many balls as possible.

Thaworn: If that was due to having a poor feel during the day, then I certainly won't practice.

You have two putts from 10 feet for par to win a title. Do you go for glory with a birdie?

Singh: I'll try to focus on the routine and not think of anything else.

Thaworn: Get the first putt in.

After posting a triple bogey, what are your thoughts at the next tee?

Singh: Stick to my routine.

Thaworn: I'll be aiming for birdie on this hole.

There's water on the right and OB on the left. How do you approach this next tee shot to a par-4 480 yard 18th hole and being in position for a top-five finish?

Singh: Obviously, everything will come into your mind. Just try to hit your normal shot and stick with the routine and thought process.

Thaworn: Just get the ball on the fairway.

Will you speak to your playing partners if you're in contention on the back nine on Sunday?

Singh: Yes I would.

Thaworn: Of course. You don't need to be arrogant.

If you are drawn to play with Tiger Woods, how do you think you'll react playing with him?

Singh: I've played with him before. I was nervous at the start but I settled down pretty quick. He's a nice guy.

Thaworn: I really wouldn't want to play with him but if it happens that way, the important thing is to maintain my own concentration.

You're playing in the Pro-am and one of your amateurs can't hit the ball at all. What will do you do?

Singh: Give him some pointers to hit the ball better.

Thaworn: I'll concentrate on my own game but will give him some basic tips.
