The US. Open may still be two weeks away, yet defending champion Michael Campbell is still trying to find his groove for the season. During the Wales open on Friday, Campbell found himself missing the cut. He may have shot a 75 and six over the first round, but a strong comeback of nine strokes to a 66 was just not enough? The projected player cut was at level par. Campbell feels this is nothing new to him, as he misses many cuts in his career. Campbell carried three birdies in a row, during his front nine run, and thought he had a shot to make the cut when out of no where he bogeyed the sixth hole on his 15th. This was the end for Campbell for the Wales Open at Celtic Manor. Campbell did not seem troubled with this loss, as he is merely trying for finding his focus, and regaining some composure, for the US Open in June. Michael Campbell clearly knows what it takes to win an event such as the US Open, considering the fact that it is he that will be defending the title between the 15th-18th at Winged Foot, In NY State. He knows as well as anyone, there will be a stacked house of champions and contenders alike, it will not be an easy walk in the park to stave off the likes of Tiger Woods, or Phil Mickleson who just happens to be very hot on the circuit right now. |
