Campbell said that he was more than happy to be crowned the winner of the two-day event especially since this is his first win as a pro. This he did on his second tournament as a pro. He said he played to plan today and coming close to the end he was a little excited and missed a four-footer on the last hole which would have meant a one under par and another seventy-one today. He however had no complaints especially since he won ahead of yesterday’s leader Wesley Brown.
Brown on the other hand said that he beat himself today on the course “I struggled today, just could not get anything going, hit the ball awful, I short sighted himself, did not make any put, never have any up and down. Shooting four over par, I felt like I shot one hundred and ten. I had some real bad breaks on the tee box. Teeing off and punching out of the tree roots and then hitting a half decent shot and then just couldn’t make the put. Fabian played well. He deserved to win, he’s a good kid and I like him.”
