It\u2019s going to make the field more exciting, especially when he\u2019s a half Thai. If I have a chance to say Sawardee-Krab to him, I will. Every tournament that I\u2019ve played with Tiger in the field, I\u2019m very happy. I\u2019ve not played with him before although I got close at the Dubai Desert Classic in 2007 but missed by just one group.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThis is another good tournament for me. Seeing a lot of world class players from the PGA Tour, I\u2019m going to enjoy this experience. I\u2019m very lucky to be in this field.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Prom, who is amongst a 10-man line-up of Asian Tour stars in the elite 48-man field, earned his debut in the CIMB Classic after an impressive season which has seen him post three top-10s and six other top-25s.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The 28-year-old, who has one win in Asia, credits his form to a better frame of mind. \u201cMy mental strength has helped me a lot. At the start of the year, my iron play and driving helped me a lot. But in the last couple of months, I\u2019ve not been driving it well but because my mental game is getting stronger, I\u2019m staying positive and I\u2019m able to overcome my driving problems. The last few weeks, I have still finished top-15 and top-10 even when I\u2019m not hitting it well,\u201d said Prom.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>He took an instant liking to the Mines Resort and expects scoring to be low this week. \u201cThe course is very nice and very fair. Thaworn (Wiratchant) said when he played here in 2010, it was difficult with the rough. If you miss the fairway this week, you still have a shot to the green. The course seems to suit me. I like it,\u201d he said.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Thaworn, who moved to the top of the Order of Merit with his third win of the season at the Hero Indian Open on Sunday, hopes to ride on his momentum as he shoots for the winner\u2019s prize pot of US$1.3 million.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cWhether it\u2019s big or small event, even if it was a US$300,000 event, I will pay a lot of attention to the tournament,\u201d said Thaworn, who will play his opening round with defending champion Bo Van Pelt.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cThe condition of the course is perfect and I feel good with this kind of golf course.&nbsp; My goal this week? To become the champion (laughter) \u2026 I want to finish in a good position against these good players. I can\u2019t think about wanting to win at this point.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Thaworn\u2019s stunning season mirrors his career-best year to date in 2005 when he won four times and also became the Asian Tour number one. The 45-year-old reckons he is now a better player, simply because he can keep his cool when things don\u2019t go as planned.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cBecause I\u2019m older now, I can concentrate better. I\u2019m not getting angry about the things around me. I\u2019ve got more experience. As I\u2019m older, why do I need to get angry? If I get mad, I won\u2019t make a score. So I\u2019ve changed and it\u2019s good for my game.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to playing with the defending champion tomorrow. I hear he won last week and I also won last week, so it will be good,\u201d said Thaworn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>: Prom Meesawat hopes to have the opportunity to greet \u2018Sawardee-Krab\u2019\u2013 the Thai greeting for \u2018hello\u2019 \u2013 to 14-time Major champion Tiger Woods at the CIMB Classic which starts on Thursday.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Prom, currently seventh on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, knows he would be in contention at the US$6.1 million event which is sanctioned by the Asian Tour and PGA Tour if he gets a chance to play alongside Woods at the Mines Resort and Golf Club this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-golf-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thailand\u2019s Prom eager to track Tiger at CIMB Classic - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
