When I won on Nationwide (the secondary circuit in the US), the year after I was on the (PGA) Tour, and when I won in Milwaukee (2009), that tournament went away.&nbsp; This is a first for me, so I&#8217;m excited,\u201d said Van Pelt, who is ranked 23rd in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old, who posted 10 top-10s on the PGA Tour this year, will be amongst a strong 48-man field at the CIMB Classic, which is sanctioned by the Asian Tour and PGA Tour.<\/p>\n<p>World number two Tiger Woods, a 14-time Major winner, headlines the field which includes ninth-ranked Jason Dufner, who finished second behind Van Pelt last week.<\/p>\n<p>Thai star Thaworn Wiratchant, who secured his third win of the season in India on Sunday, will spearhead the Asian Tour\u2019s challenge at the Mines Resort, which was built on what was formerly the world\u2019s largest open cast tin mine.<\/p>\n<p>Van Pelt is confident of extending his winning form.&nbsp; \u201cLast year it was good for me.&nbsp; I think I had to go in on Sunday to have the lead and then to play well.&nbsp; There were a couple of times in my career where I&#8217;ve had leads and not played as well on Sunday. So to play the way I did last year I think gave me some confidence going into this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2012 was probably one of my most consistent years.&nbsp; So from that standpoint I was pleased with how I played.&nbsp; The down side is I did not win a tournament on the PGA Tour, so that was a negative.&nbsp; You want to try to get a victory when you&#8217;re that close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kuala Lumpur: In-form Bo Van Pelt is fired up for a successful title defence at the US$6.1 million CIMB Classic starting on Thursday.
