Michael Campbell's given himself a second chance of securing a place in this month's British Open after missing out on qualifying earlier this week.

He's moved into a tie for ninth at the European Tour's French Open.

An outright top five finish will earn him a place at Royal St George's.

Campbell says it's great to be in contention again.

He says it all depends on the leaders, but he feels he has a great chance to finish at least in the top ten.

Fellow Kiwi Mark Brown is second to last after carding a second straight eight-over 79.
