He began playing golf at age 7, on the Patea golf course which had the greens fenced to keep sheep off them. He was introduced to the game by an uncle, Roger Rei, but was also undoubtedly influenced by his father Tom Campbell who was a single-figure handicapper.

Breakthrough year, 2005

The year 2005 started as if it would be Campbell’s annus horribilis but it developed into his annus mirabilis. He never made the cut in his first five 2005 tournaments, averaging 75 strokes in the first rounds of each of those tournaments. Then suddenly there was a turnaround, and he missed only one cut in the next 16 tournaments. He finished in the top six of the Open Championship and US PGA, and recorded top fives in three other tournaments. Annus horribilis is a Latin phrase meaning horrible year.

And then there was the 2005 US Open. In order to make it to Pinehurst, Campbell had to go through sectional qualifying. He took advantage of the fact that the United States Golf Association, the organizers of the US Open, introduced European qualifying for the first time.
