The former US Open champion struggled to make the cut, sneaking through with opening rounds of 71 and 74.

He shot one-under par 70 on Sunday (NZT), then finished in style with a classy four-under par 67.

The event was won by German Marcel Siem, with an eight-under 276, six shots ahead of Campbell.
