Bo Van Pelt went out by himself in the final round of THE PLAYERS and took advantage of the pure greens and lack of pressure to spin a 4-under-par 34-34=68.
BVP blew any chance he had of contending with a third-round 79, but six birdies to just two bogeys at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday morning demonstrate that form wasn't the problem. He ends the week at 2-over 290. Don't look for him at TPC Four Seasons Resort next week, as he is not in the field at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. May 12 - 11:58 AM

Bo Van Pelt circled a birdie on his 72nd hole of the Wells Fargo Championship to end his final round at 1-under-par 34-37=71 and his tournament at 5-under 283.

While it won't go for a win, BVP will pick up his first top 10 of the 2013 season. Early in his final lap around Quail Hollow, birdies from 1'11" on the par-4 first and a six-yard chip-in on the par-3 sixth had him in contention. His fatal flaw was failing to take advantage of the par 5s on the front, and then giving back both of his birdies with a double bogey on the par-5 10th. Following a bogey at 13 and a birdie at 15, he polished off his first top 10 with a 59'4" birdie at 18. He now heads to TPC Sawgrass for THE PLAYERS.

Bo Van Pelt circled Quail Hollow in 4-under-par 33-35=68 during the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship.

BVP is still chasing his first top 15 of the 2013 season after scoring 10 top 10s a season ago. The highlight of his round was an eagle from 15'5" on the par-5 fifth, to go with four other birdies and just two bogeys. He enters the final round at 4-under 212.

Bo Van Pelt will lead off the third round of the RBC Heritage at 10:00 a.m. ET from the first tee.

BVP is paired with K.J. Choi and Jerry Kelly in what could be a long day at Harbour Town. The final threesome of the day will begin at 12:30 p.m., meaning the rounds will take at least five hours to complete and likely longer. If there is a plus, maybe the the anticipated logjam will give the guys time for a burger and some fries at the turn.

Bo Van Pelt established very early possession of the clubhouse lead at the RBC Heritage with a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round.

Here we are entering the second half of April and BVP is still chasing his first top 15 of the season. He's also missed three cuts to match last year's total (excluding one withdrawal). Today he landed 13 greens in regulation and circled five birdies, including a 14'3" conversion at the 12th hole and a 12-yard chip-in at 3. While he failed to save par on two occasions when he missed the green in regulation, settling for bogeys at Nos. 14 and 7, he poured in a par save from four yards just off the green at the par-4 13th.

Bo Van Pelt heads to Hilton Head for the RBC Heritage searching for his first top 10 of the year.

BVP has played decent golf this season, and enters off a T20 at the Masters. His early history at Harbour Town was solid, making his first five cuts with a T3 in 2010 as the highlight. Since then, he’s missed the cut in his last two attempts.

Bo Van Pelt shot a 4-under-par 34-34=68 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.

BVP hit 14 greens and rattled home five birdies, all of which from nine feet and closer. His longest conversion of the round was a par save from 10'3" at the fourth hole. That came on the coattails of his only bogey of the round at 3. He's two strokes off the pace of the fivesome that shares the overnight lead.

Bo Van Pelt dusted John Senden 6 and 5 in the Snead Bracket in the opening round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

After five successive delays lasting four-and-a-half hours, play resumed at Dove Mountain in Marana, Ariz. Senden has a 1-up lead after six holes, but then lost the next seven in a row, the last with a bogey-6 on the 13th hole. During that stretch, BVP won two holes with birdies, four with pars and one with a concession. He's the first to advance to Friday's second round during which he'll square off against the winner of Ian Poulter v. Stephen Gallacher.

Bo Van Pelt signed for a 3-under-par 36-32=68 following his opening round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

BVP carded a 59 on his own ball in Wednesday's pro-am, prompting daily leaguers to plug him in this morning. Unfortunately, the golf gods limited him to an eagle hole-out from just off the green at the par-5 13th hole and three birdies. He also saved par from 10'2" at the eight hole and swallowed a double bogey at the par-4 sixth.

Bo Van Pelt was the first to post a number at the Farmers Insurance Open, recording a 5-under-par 33-34=67 at Torrey Pines North.

You'd think that a birdie machine like BVP would have had his way with the North Course throughout his career, but consider that he hadn't broken 70 in either host track at this event in his last 12 rounds. He sandwiched a pair of bogeys today with seven birdies, including at east of the four par 5s.

Bo Van Pelt’s consistent 2012 is in the books, and he now turns his attention to the Humana Challenge to start 2013.

Van Pelt recorded 16 top 25's and 10 top 10's in what was a model year for consistency. He opened 2012 at this event, finishing T54. There will be plenty of solid places to peg BVP into fantasy lineups throughout the year, so don’t rush to burn him this week if you aren’t feeling it.

Bo Van Pelt was a top-10 machine on the 2012 PGA TOUR, nabbing 10 to go along with an impressive 16 top 25s.

BVP frequently found himself in contention, but followed a familiar pattern of being unable to pick up a win on U.S. soil. In fact, he's got 48 top 10s and 109 top 25s on his career resume, but just one win. While all signs point to him eventually figuring out how to win with more regularity, it's important not to over-value him until he proves he can finish off a tournament.

Bo Van Pelt closed out the CIMB Classic with a 5-under-par 32-34=66 to post 21-under 263, one stroke adrift of champion, Nick Watney.

Van Pelt gave it a good run to defend his title and win in back-to-back weeks. He co-led the field at The MINES with 28 birdies but was done in by three bogeys and a pair of doubles. The only hole he didn't birdie at least once all week was the par-3 14th.

Bo Van Pelt crafted a 10-under-par 29-33=62 in his third round of the CIMB Classic, good for a share of the 54-hole lead with Robert Garrigus at 17-under 197.

This was vintage BVP, right up through the double bogey at the par-4 18th hole. He's best known to fantasy gamers as a rock-solid investment through 54 holes, but despite an impressive final-round scoring average (70.11), he's struggled converting on opportunities for success. In today's loop of The MINES Resort & Golf Club, he circled 11 birdies before stepping onto the tee at the last needing one more for a 59. He pulled his drive left of the fairway to create an awkward angle to attack a back-left pin from a primarly fade lie. Right on cue, he sailed his approach with a 9-iron into the greenside bunker right. Needing to hole out for the 59, he chunked his out, barely reaching the putting surface. Three putts later, he walked off the green as he's done too many times for our liking, and certainly his. He signed his card leading the field with 22 birdies. His consolation prize is that he matched the course record first established by Jeff Overton a year ago.

Bo Van Pelt chased his opening 70 at the CIMB Classic with a 6-under-par 32-33=65 in his second round to post 7-under 135 at the midpoint, good for an early share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

This is more like it from the defending champion and last week's winner in Australia. After opening with a bogey-5 at the first hole, Van Pelt rattled off seven birdies to catch Trevor Immelman atop the leaderboard. At the time BVP signed his card, 14 of the 48 in the field had concluded two rounds.
