PGA TOUR veteran Chad Campbell carded a final-round 69 on Sunday and captured the title at the Viking Classic by one shot over rookie Johnson Wagner. Campbell took home the winner’s purse of $630,000 and a full Viking indoor and outdoor kitchen.
With this win, the Texas native ended the weekend ranked 43rd on the 2007 PGA TOUR money list after beginning the week ranked 82nd.
Campbell’s four-round total of 275 ties D.J. Trahan (2006) for the highest-winning score in Viking Classic history.
Campbell becomes the first player in the last 10 years to win the Viking Classic after not playing in the final group on Sunday.
PGA TOUR rookie Johnson Wagner found himself in contention on Sunday before a late bogey at the par-4 17th derailed his chances at the title. The runner-up finish is the best of Wagner’s TOUR career and virtually assures him of keeping his card for the 2008 season.
Wagner, a former Virginia Tech star, missed 12 of 13 cuts in a row after the horrific tragedy that struck the VT campus in April. Prior to that, Wagner had made eight of his first 11 cuts on the season.
Campbell came from three shots back at the start of the final round to win the Viking Classic.
