Guys have heard this is a great event the last couple of years, and I think that&#8217;s why you see the strength of the field,\u201d said Van Pelt, ranked 44th on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">He is not worried about the tropical Malaysian heat where humidity can soar up to 30 degrees and higher throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cI live in Oklahoma, so it gets pretty hot in the summer there, so it wasn&#8217;t that big a stretch for me to deal with humidity and this amount of sunshine. So, you know, you just drink lots of water and take your time and listen to your body. Everybody will get through it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Bo reckons that accurate drives will be the key to success this week. \u201cIt looks like you need to drive the ball well. The golf course looks tight off the tee. If you go offline, you can definitely get penalized.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cIt looks like there\u2019s a lot of uphill and downhill. There is a lot of change in elevation. So it&#8217;s going to be critical to try to control your distances and get the distance right, which will be a challenge for everybody this week,\u201d added the 38-year-old Bo.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><strong>Kuala Lumpur:<\/strong> Bo Van Pelt will be aiming for a CIMB Classic double but he is wary of the elite field comprising of Major champions and talented Asian Tour winners who will feature at the event which starts on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Van Pelt, winner of the 2011 CIMB Classic, will contend for the US$7 million prize purse against World Number three Phil Mickelson, Major champions Bubba Watson and Keegan Bradley at the challenging Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.<\/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":[10775,2923,1212],"class_list":["post-17339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-golf-news","tag-bo-van-pelt","tag-k-j-choi","tag-kiradech-aphibarnrat"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Van Pelt aims for a bonanza week at CIMB Classic - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=17339\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Van Pelt aims for a bonanza week at CIMB Classic - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kuala Lumpur: Bo Van Pelt will be aiming for a CIMB Classic double but he is wary of the elite field comprising of Major champions and talented Asian Tour winners who will feature at the event which starts on Thursday.Van Pelt, winner of the 2011 CIMB Classic, will contend for the US$7 million prize purse against World Number three Phil Mickelson, Major champions Bubba Watson and Keegan Bradley at the challenging Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=17339\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-10-23T10:46:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=17339#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=17339\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b8f51f3c66686ab3518464e9b8368646\"},\"headline\":\"Van Pelt aims for a bonanza week at CIMB Classic\",\"datePublished\":\"2013-10-23T10:46:38+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=17339\"},\"wordCount\":355,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"Bo Van Pelt\",\"K.J.
