Campbell In Contention

Is Michael Campbell back? After his three top ten finishes in his last four starts, could the New Zealander finally be playing the golf everybody knows he’s capable of?

Another consistent round at the British Masters yesterday left the Kiwi two shots off the lead in a nine way tie for seventh. Campbell produced five birdies but was let down by a double bogey on the ninth on his way to shooting a three-under par-69.
Lee Westwood got back to playing golf instead rather than the consistent moaning he’s been doing since the Ryder Cup with a four-under-par 68. The Englishman claimed a share of third place behind joint leaders Marcus Fraser and Mikael Lundberg.

Thomas Bjorn ended a 10-week lay off with a 69 and then spoke about the Ryder Cup captaincy. The Dane has ruled himself out of the role but as chairman of the players’ committee is expected to make a decision early next year.

"All doors are open for everybody at the moment," Bjorn said. "We'll come up with what we think is the right decision - some people might disagree and some people will agree. That's all we can do."
