Campbell seals play-off win

New Zealander Michael Campbell came out of the golfing wilderness with a play-off win in the Nissan Irish Open at Portmarnock tonight.

After the 34-year-old had tied with Peter Hedblom and Thomas Bjorn on the 11-under-par mark of 277, Hedblom having made a dramatic 25-foot par putt on the last which he said “felt like 50”, the play-off was delayed because of a thunderstorm.
