U.S. Open: Day 4 - Campbell Capitalizes on Goosen Collapse
Sunday June 19, 2005
While Retief Goosen was experiencing what announcer Johnny Miller several times called one of the biggest meltdowns by a great player in major championship history, Michael Campbell was putting together a terrific round at Pinehurst No. 2. So terrific that the New Zealander is the 2005 U.S. Open champion.
While those around him were collapsing - Goosen shot 81, Olin Browne 80 and Jason Gore 84 - Campbell put together a 69 that tied for low round of the day. Among the leaders entering the final round, and among the big names, only Tiger Woods mounted a charge, also shooting 69.
But Tiger's charge ended with a bogey at No. 17 that left him three shots back of Campbell. Then Campbell birdied No. 17 to coast home for the trophy.
