Michael Campbell has failed in an attempt to win his first tournament since 2005, shooting a two over par 72 to finish tied for eighth at the Hong Kong Open tonight.
Having endured a torrid time since winning the World Match Play Championship in 2005 - the same year as his US Open triumph - things have begun to turn around for Campbell in 2012.
He has enjoyed three top-15 finishes on the European Tour, including a third place at last month's Portugal Masters.
Campbell looked like he could go even better in Hong Kong, heading into today's final round on -10 and with a share of the lead.
But, after Campbell birdied the first, playing partner Miguel Angel Jimenez proved too good, nailing three birdies in a row on the front nine to storm clear. Campbell managed another birdie on the seventh to pull within two shots, but Jimenez continued to streak away.
