Now that she is out of quarantine, the 26-year-old US LPGA Tour player is doing her best to keep in shape and prepare for when play is expected to resume in mid-June after the circuit shut down in February because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

She returned to Hong Kong from her base in Las Vegas and fulfilled the recommended 14 days isolation at her home in the New Territories, using the time to work out within the confines of her room.

“I couldn’t see my parents,” she said. “My mum had been sending three meals a day to my room. We tried to avoid seeing each other because it’s safer. I didn’t step out of my room for 14 days as soon as I landed in Hong Kong. It was pretty funny.

“I had couple of dumbbells at home, a yoga mat and medicine ball. And with the little space I had in my room I managed to do a whole workout for 12 days in a row.
