A Brief Look inside the French Open
By Ally White
Michael Campbell's return to the European golf tour turned bitter to him with the former US Open champion reducing one of the last places of the French Open in Versailles. Campbell carded a six over par 77 for a nine over par tally that included a 14th hole double bogey followed by three bogeys over the next four holes on the National Club course.
One year ago Campbell entered the French Open final round but in that time he lead by one. On this French Open he finished 16 shots behind Denmark's Soren Hansen. Campbell shares last place on the European Tour with Francois Delamontagne.
Meanwhile the British golfer Graeme Storm won the French Open today by a shot from Denmark's overnight leader Soren Hansen after starting out five strokes behind.
The former British Amateur champion became the European Tour's 14th first time winner of the season as he closed with a five-under 66 for a seven-under 277 total.
Eight-time European number one Colin Montgomerie led with four holes to go but two late bogeys left the Scot in a share of third place with Thomas Bjorn of Denmark, Ireland's Damien McGrane and Briton Simon Khan, two strokes behind Storm.
For Storm the long-awaited victory was a rags-to-riches story. After losing his card in 2002/03 he was so short of cash he had to resort to washing cake trays for a living during the winter, earning only $200 for a 40-hour week.
