I am actually nondenominational.

I got comments about being too small, too short, there haven't been any Asian players and who am I to go out there and turn pro before my 16th birthday? And that's all good and fine.

Obviously the Asian American community wants you to do well. They are cheering you on no matter what the circumstances.

For me, I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.
