In-form Campbell’s hot streak continues

US Open champion Michael Campbell admitted Thursday’s wash-out at the Deutsche Bank Championship had been “a blessing in disguise.”

The opening day’s play in Hamburg was abandoned without a ball being struck after heavy rain left parts of the Gut Kaden course under water.

Play began 24 hours later yesterday morning and Campbell cruised to a seven-under-par 65 to share the clubhouse lead with Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, Italy’s Alessandro Tadini, Welshman Bradley Dredge and Australian Wade Ormsby a shot back in third.
