On the spot with Anthony Kim
Q&A with three-time PGA Tour winner Anthony Kim ahead of the 2010 Ballantine's Championship in Korea
Some of the leading players who will be appearing at the forthcoming Ballantine's Championship in Korea, Anthony Kim unwinds with a glass of Ballantine's in the clubhouse bar.
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."
