Why do you want to join the LET? Because my biggest dream is to be a professional golfer and I love Europe and I want to continue in living in Europe and I love golf. So I want to make that my living.

How did you prepare for attending the LET Q-School 2012? I have been injured all the last year, so as soon as my injury was over I started practicing physically and doing a lot of strength exercises and conditioning and a lot of golf. I have been working very hard with my coach to get my swing right, but also mentally, I have been preparing in visualizing the courses and golf shots for months.

What are your expectations in 2012 and targets when playing on the LET? I am playing well, so I am expecting this season to be my best season yet so far as a professional golfer. I would like to win an event, and I think I am good enough to win one. I would like to finish top 20-30 on the Order of Merit.
