Though a Runner-Up to One of Golf's Great Cinderella Stories, Chad Campbell Has No Regrets →

Twenty years ago at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, Chad Campbell was one of those 155, but this loss was a little more difficult for the Texan to shake.
The 29-year-old had a front row seat to one of the most amazing shots in major championship history as Shaun Micheel hit a 175-yard 7-iron from the left rough that resulted in an all-time walk-off shot. The ball rolled to within inches of the cup.”
