Going Head to Head

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

Unho Park v. Adam Blyth

How do you warm up?

Park: I'll start with the short irons and move up. However, I never hit a driver at the range as I get too tired doing it!


Blyth: I'll stretch for 10 minutes and then spend 45 minutes at the range, hitting my sand wedge, 56 degree wedge, pitching wedge, seven iron, four iron, three wood and driver. I will only hit four balls with the driver at the range. And then hit some chips and putts.

What do you do after completing a round?

Park: I'll go back to the hotel and relax. Most of the times, I'll take it easy.

Blyth: Usually hit a few balls for an hour to loosen up, stretch and head home.

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

Park: Listen to my ipod.

Blyth: Listen to music. If I'm on my way to the club, it'll be soothing music like Cold Play but if it's on the way home, it'll be the hard stuff!

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

Park: Just getting unlucky with bad breaks or bad bounces.

Blyth: Playing bad.

After a round of 65, what do you do afterwards?

Park: Go back to the hotel and relax.

Blyth: I'll hit a few balls, just because I have to. I'd be pretty happy.

How about after a 78?

Park: Go back to the hotel and relax as well!

Blyth: Definitely hit more balls and figure out what went wrong.

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

Park: I'll lag it near the hole. I've yet to get in this position though.

Blyth: I'll try to hole the first one.

After posting a double bogey, what goes through your mind at the next tee?

Park: If that was my third double, I wouldn't care but if it was my first of the day, I'll be furious!

Blyth: When I was younger, I would rip it at the next hole to get the anger out. These days, I just try to hit the next fairway.

There's water on the right and OB on the left at the 18th hole, 480 yard par four and you're in position for a top-five finish. How will you play the tee shot?

Park: Play my stock shot which is aim left and slide it back in.

Blyth: I would hit whatever club that I've used since the first round. Basically stick to the game plan.

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

Park: Yes. Some people don't speak but I generally like to chit chat. It depends on the mood as well.

Blyth: A little bit. I'll be focussing on my job.

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

Park: I'll ask him how much we're playing for!

Blyth: I'd love for that to happen and try to beat him.

You're playing in the Pro-Am and one of your amateurs can't get it off the deck. What will you do?

Park: Just play golf. I'll try to give me some tips and encourage him.

Blyth: Just have fun with him and make him enjoy the day and not worry about the golf. Try to have a good laugh.
