It's going to be a very Hoosier final pairing Sunday in Malaysia.
Bo Van Pelt birdied holes 15, 16 and 17 Saturday at The MINES
Resort to take a one-shot lead over another Indiana native, Jeff
Overton, after 54 holes at the CIMB Asia Pacific Classic. Van
Pelt’s 4-under 67 was his highest score of the week but was
enough to leapfrog Overton (69) and leave him 18 holes away from
his first victory since 2009. After bogeying his first two holes
Saturday, Van Pelt got back to even before the turn. He added a
birdie on No. 12 before his trio of late birdies put him ahead by
two shots. Overton got his first closing birdie of the week to
narrow the deficit to one shot at day’s end. "I’ve been
in this position before and I’ve been playing this game a
long time, and I just didn’t make that big a deal about (the
early bogeys)," Van Pelt said. "I knew there was a lot of golf
left. I made two good swings on 3 and made an easy birdie there and
just kind of righted the ship." Mark Wilson and 36-hole co-leader
Fredrik Jacobson are at 13 under, three behind Van Pelt.
