LIANG Wenchong is still looking to the work ethic he learned from his farmer parents as he moves further and further afield in the quest to improve his golf.
The Chinese No. 1 is renowned for his arduous practise schedule and he puts all that down to his parents, poor farmers in China's southern Guangdong Province.
"They taught me to work hard," he said. "They worked from early morning till late evening every day so my practice routine is also almost the same," Liang said. "You have to work hard to be rewarded and you can only make your own future in the game."
Liang has long advocated that Chinese players should travel abroad and compete.
"Golf is a sport whereby you have to keep improving in order to do well," said the 31-year-old, who finished tied for 25th at the Sony Open in Honolulu. "You've got to keep challenging yourself to become a better player and that means having to play more abroad to test yourself against the best players in the world."
Liang was China's first Asian Tour champion in 2007 and the second to win a European Tour event after trailblazer Zhang Lianwei when he won the Singapore Masters that same year.
Last season, he finished runner-up to Thai Thongchai Jaidee in the race for the Asian Order of Merit.
"This season is going to be very different from the previous seasons. I'll be trying to play more events abroad and hopefully I'll be able to achieve results there," he said.
