Campbell's ringing, shares lead

LAS VEGAS – Chad Campbell made a double bogey on the par-5 16th, then birdied the 18th for a 4-under 67 and a share of the third-round lead with Scott Piercy in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Saturday.

Piercy – a Las Vegas local whose wife, Sara, delivered son Jett on Thursday – had a 65 to match Campbell at 17-under 196 at TPC Summerlin.

Martin Laird (67) was a stroke back, and 2007 winner George McNeill (63), Jason Bohn (65), Jeff Klauk (66) and Bob Heintz (68) followed at 15 under.

After eagling the par-4 12th and adding birdies on 13 and 15, Campbell dropped two strokes with the double bogey on 16.

“I was pretty upset with myself after that kind of a bad shot,” said Campbell, who won the last of his four US PGA Tour titles in 2007. (AP)
