Don’t be whingeing Poms over weather, Campbell tells rivals

DON’T be a whingeing Pom! That was US Open champion Michael Campbell’s message to his colleagues complaining about the weather and the difficulty of the Montgomerie Course on the eve of the Nissan Irish Open Championship.

To be fair, the driving rain and stiffish breeze made conditions miserable in yesterday’s pro-am, but the New Zealander is buoyed by the fact that he has won twice in Ireland and isn’t worried by our unpredictable weather.

His views are in stark contrast to those in the locker room who have already given themselves a two shot penalty before going on the course.
