PREVIEW INTERVIEW-ZHANG LIAN WEI

　　Have you played at Pine Valley before?

　　Yes, many times. The fairways are pretty wide and Hole 6 & 17 are pretty tough about 260 yards long with an elevated green. I’m honored to be here and I know the sponsors have put a lot of effort into this tournament.

　　Your expectations for this week?

　　This is an Asian Tour event and I want to play well this week. I don’t want to set any targets.

　　Did you bring your family to this tournament?

　　It’s not convenient to bring the kids here but it’s ok to bring the wife.

　　Your thoughts about the youth development?

　　I’ve organizing the Zhang Lian-Wei Youth Cup for seven years and I’ve been actively involved in youth development. But our youth players need to play overseas more often in order to be competitive on the international scene.

　　Tell us about your relationship with Liang Wen Chong

　　Liang Wen Chong and I are like brothers. We have a very close relationship. I don’t view him as a rival. His career path will be different from mine and I believe he has a great future ahead of him.
