    I think he's such a great competitor and leader because his bloodlines run through the mighty Independent nation of Taiwan.

    I don't think his religion has any thing to do with it.

    He has said several times that he plays for God..... When you have something else driving you that isint always for self achievement but to honor and glorify God.... Well thats dangerous for other players.... This guy is driven by his faith.... Work ethic, love for the game, thirst of an underdog are all in him.....
