24岁的苏格兰球手詹姆斯-伯恩过了一个稳定的业余球手时代，进入了去年的沃克杯英爱联队，帮助队伍击败了美国队而获胜。接着，他转为职业球手，在今年的亚巡赛资格考试上顺利过关，拿到了本赛季亚巡赛全卡。伯恩也珍惜重新回到亚洲的机会。
对于2012赛季的亚巡赛，伯恩满腔期待：“亚巡赛提供了很多奖金，这里有很多出色的球手们。对于我来说，这里是不同的，我过去并没有在像亚洲这样的炎热条件下打比赛，这里的食物也极为不同。我必须要做出一些生活方式的改变，但我不会对我的球技进行任何改变，我觉得我足以出色地能够在亚巡赛上获胜。”
伯恩说：“我在亚洲有家属，亚巡赛是一个不断扩大的巡回赛，它一直以来都变得更好，提供了很多奖金，这里有优秀的球手们。是的，我回到了我的根基。我的妈妈是新加坡人，我只到了新加坡4次，在日本短暂地待过。我实际上没有在亚洲花很多时间。对我来说，这里确实是不同的。我过去并没有在像亚洲这样的炎热条件下打比赛，这里的食物也极为不同。我不会对我的球技进行改变，但我会做出一些生活方式的改变。”
问：你在什么时候学打高尔夫球?为何要学高尔夫?
伯恩：我也许最开始是3岁的时候，在自己家里的花园里打高尔夫。我的父母都打高尔夫，当我长到大约14岁时，他们真正把我领进这项运动里。
问：一开始，有谁支持你吗?怎么样支持你?
伯恩：我的父母。他们陪着我旅行，看着我打比赛。
问：除了当职业高尔夫球手，你有考虑过不同的职业吗?
伯恩：我过去常常在游泳方面保持着国家级的竞争力，大约有了10年时间，从我5岁开始，一直到15岁左右。你不得不为了游泳进行大量的训练，实际上我更喜欢高尔夫球。
问：告诉我们你迄今为止在高球生涯里的最大亮点?
伯恩：去年参加沃克杯比赛也许是我至今为止最大的亮点，而且赢得2007年苏格兰男孩比杆锦标赛也一样。
问：在来到资格学校考试之前，你对亚巡赛的印象是怎样的?
伯恩：我不是太了解亚巡赛，因为欧洲并没有转播太多的亚巡赛，但我确实知道在欧洲比赛的那些出色的亚洲球手们。我清楚这里球手们的水准不错。
问：你是半个新加坡人，这是真的吗?
伯恩：我的妈妈是新加坡人，但我待在亚洲的时间实在不多。对于我来说，亚洲的确是不同的。我并不习惯像那样的炎热，食物也有很大不同。我在自己的球技上没有进行任何改变，不过进行了一些生活方式的改变。你要喝更多的水，饮食得当，确保你的饮食能够应付好这里的炎热，因为你在一轮比赛中会流很多的汗水。除了我只是努力应付好炎热的天气之外，这里没有让我感到慌乱。
问：你想要做的一件事情，但现在还没有做到，那是什么呢?
伯恩：赢得一场比赛。恩，我知道现在依旧还是处于初期，但我真的想要赢得一场比赛，毕竟我现在转为职业球手已有大约5个月了。
问：在一轮比赛之前，有任何特别要例行做的事情吗?
伯恩：没有什么特别，就是一个小时的热身。
问：有任何迷信的行为或者幸运符吗?
伯恩：没什么，但我大约5年里一直使用相同的球的标记物。
问：你收到的最佳建议是什么?
伯恩：也许就是我的教练之前对我说的“要打好每一杆”。
问：你理想的四人一组，同组球友都有哪些人呢?
伯恩：泰格-伍兹、杰克-尼克劳斯和一位足球运动员蒂埃里-亨利(Thierry Henry，著名的法国前锋)。
问：在高尔夫里，你的哲学是什么?
伯恩：始终要尽我最大努力，要有进取心。
James was born in Gorleston, England on the 2nd of January 1989. At the tender age of 3 weeks, he relocated with his parents to their home in Banchory, Scotland where he has lived ever since.
James with his first swim coach Jim CameronFrom an early age James has had an interest in most sports, in particular in swimming and golf. For nine years, he kept himself fit with swim training and by the time he reached 13yrs of age he had begun to take the sport very seriously. He was promoted to the South Aberdeenshire Elite Squad and embarked upon a 20-hours per week training program.
The training was very intensive and extremely demanding, but under the guidance of head coach (now Scotland’s Commonwealth Games coach) Gary Paterson, James achieved a great deal of success. He twice competed in the British National Age Group Championships at the Ponds Forge Arena in Sheffield, and set many district and club records, some of which are still standing.
Unfortunately, twelve months into his training regime, he found himself under increasing amounts of stress trying to balance swimming with golf and schoolwork. In April 2004, he took the difficult decision to focus his efforts upon a career on the golf course.
James, 3yrs old, Singapore.He was introduced to the game of golf at an exceptionally young age. As a toddler at age 2, he would watch his parents (Paul and Siew) chipping in the garden, and would often join in with some plastic clubs.
At the tender age of 3, he took a trip to Singapore to meet his Mother’s side of the family for the first time.
“My fundamentals still needed some work, but at least I was getting the feel of a properly weighted club!”
James, aged 5, reports on a practice sessionJames soon recognised the value of practice and enjoyed regular trips to the local driving range with his Dad. During his first year at school, aged 5, he produced his first golf blog.
Having been on a waiting list for six years, finally he gained membership to Banchory Golf Club at just 8yrs old. At first he struggled to break 120, but his mum would often take him out on the course and encourage him to improve.
He eventually competed in his first competition at the age of 9yrs, and was given a handicap of 28. His technique was improving, and his dad saw his potential and arranged for James to meet the local pro, David Naylor, for lessons. His swing got better and eventually he also starting seeing Inchmarlo pro, Andrew Locke, who had the added benefit of video technology. Andrew’s expertise raised his game to another level and he has been James’ coach and mentor ever since. They have now been working together for over ten years on all aspects of his game.
James lifts the trophy after winning the Scottish Boys Strokeplay Championship
James’ gained his first major tournament victory in 2007, aged 18yrs, at the Scottish Boys’ Strokeplay Championship at Cardrona. After opening with rounds of 67 and 69 for a 5 shot lead, James was pegged back by Scotland team mate Michael Stewart who shot 65, 68 on Sunday to force a playoff at 14-under. A birdie at the 3rd playoff hole was enough to seal his victory.
James with the Scottish Squad 2007Since 2005, James has represented Scotland at every age group and has enjoyed much success in the team environment.
In 2006, he competed as part of a six-man team at the European Boys Championships, where they went all the way to the final before narrowly losing out to Norway.
Then in 2007, he made his debut for the Men’s team, also in the Europeans, and teamed up with Keir McNicoll in a memorable victory over England. 2006 also marked his first appearance in the Great Britain & Ireland Boys’ team to face Continental Europe in the Jacques L’Eglise Trophy, a feat which he was to repeat in the following year.
James’ notable success during the summer of 2010 was to finish runner-up in the Amateur Championship. He also narrowly missed out on a place in the Open Championship after a first round 64 at the Open Local Final Qualifier at Kingsbarns. In 2010, James also gained representative honours for Europe and GB&I as well as receiving the honour of representing his own country on a number of occasions. James capped a good year when in October, at the World Amateur Team Championships in Argentina, he helped Scotland to a 5th place finish, tying for 4th place individually.
The game of golf has been central to James’ life for the past 7 years.

James and his dad spent two years tirelessly investigating and researching potential universities where James could continue playing competitive golf, he eventually chose Arizona State University and enrolled in August 2007.
In his debut tournament at Olympia Fields that September, he started with three straight birdies. His college career was underway and needless to say his Coach, Randy Lein, saw his potential.
Spending four years on the ASU golf team has been an invaluable experience for James. He has enjoyed some of the best coaching and practice facilities in America, and played against top quality opponents on world-class courses. James firmly believes that his time has a Sun Devil has given him the best possible preparation for a life as a tour professional. He graduated in May 2011 with a B.Sc degree in Marketing.

“I have loved every minute of my time at ASU, especially being part of a great golf team. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I can only hope that other promising Scottish junior players can have the same opportunities that I have had.”
On returning home to the U.K. James main goal was to achieve selection to the GB&I Walker Cup team before ending his amateur career. James was honoured to achieve that goal and to add icing to the cake, James and his GB&I teammates recorded a tremendous win again a very strong American side at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in September 2011.
Two weeks before the Walker Cup James was fortunate to receive an invitation to play in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles, his first European Tour event. A top 30 finish against a strong field, together with his success at the Walker Cup, convinced James of his readiness to join the professional ranks.
At a press conference on 19th September, 2011 he announced that he had turned pro and signed with the world’s leading sports company IMG. He is very much looking forward beginning his professional career and to achieving further successes on the golf
