Campbell lands Classic
PALM DESERT (California), Jan 23: Chad Campbell’s conservative approach paid off Sunday as a 71 saw him win the five million-dollar Bob Hope Classic by three shots.
Campbell’s one-under effort gave him a five-round total of 25-under 335, three shots better than Sweden’s Jesper Parnevik and fellow American Scott Verplank.
Parnevik closed with a 67 and Verplank a 73 to share second on 338. John Huston was fourth after a 68 for 339. Phil Mickelson, the only top-10 player in the field, closed with a 71 to join a group on 341 that included Australian John Senden and Canadian Mike Weir.
