Yani Tseng says it is hard dealing with negative feedback
Current world number one Yani Tseng, who kicked off the current season in grand style but lost her momentum in recent weeks, has said it is hard coping with all the attention amid concerns regarding her current performance.
Tseng has performed below average in most of the recent tournaments, which has put the top-ranked prodigy under intense scrutiny.
The pressure that came in the form of multiple tournaments within a few weeks is enormous, but Tseng has to face critics and fans who are too curious to know what is going to happen to her performance in the coming tournaments.
Speaking to a section of online press, Tseng said that she is happy with what she has done so far in her LPGA (Ladies professional Golf Association) career, however, ups and downs are not unusual in a player’s game.
“People are trying to grab every part of you, so it’s really hard to focus. You need to take care of your time and practice, you need to rest and talk to media. So it's really important to organize those things," she said.
Tseng, who belongs to Taiwan, is standing strong at the number one spot in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, but other players have started to challenge her position in recent weeks.
With Stacy Lewis having grabbed the third position in world rankings, Tseng will want to stay out of the situation where her number one position gets is at stake.
She gave a miss to the Kingsmill Championship 2012 and decided to participate in the Suzann Pro Challenge.
Due to her performance in recent weeks, Tseng has faced plenty of criticism. “When I look back, they are all negative things... sometimes it really breaks my heart, like why did they say that”.
The Taiwanese star said that she liked playing in the Ricoh Women’s British Open 2012 as the tournament is best known for featuring big names. She said that it is not just the field that makes the British Open 2012 perfect, but the fans as well, who are supportive and appreciate good play.
“I think playing the British Open is more like history and tradition, playing at a links golf course and the fans out here are the most important things for me," Tseng said.
