Bo Van Pelt beats Jason Dufner to capture ISPS HANDA Perth International in Australia

Bo Van Pelt carded a closing four-under 68 to win the ISPS HANDA Perth International in Australia by two shots.

Great battle

"Jason and I had a great battle and played well," said Van Pelt later. "It definitely got tight there at the end but luckily for me I came out on top. "Lake Karrinyup was a great test of golf all week. It's been a battle; the wind blew, the greens were firm and fast, and it was just a joy to play all week. "Whenever you get a lead you want to take advantage of it so it was nice to finish one off this week," said Van Pelt, who still has only one US Tour win to his name. Dufner, who signed for a 69, was pleased with his efforts in his first appearance since the agonising Ryder Cup defeat to the Europeans. "It's been a good trip," he said. "It's good to get back out and compete and nice to be in the hunt after a couple weeks off and after The Ryder Cup. "Nothing to be ashamed of, just got to tighten up a couple things."
