Campbell, Sandelin fail in qualifying

Former US Open champion Michael Campbell and Swedish former Ryder Cup player Jarmo Sandelin missed out on qualifying for the British Open on Tuesday.

Campbell failed to finish in the top three at Prince’s — one of four courses hosting qualifying for the year’s third major — after shooting rounds of 68 and 72 to finish on 4-under 140.

   The New Zealander, who won his sole major at Pinehurst in 2005, must earn a top-five finish at the French Open starting Thursday or  next week’s Scottish Open to qualify for the tournament at Royal St. George’s next month.

   Sandolin missed out by two shots at Rye.

   Six players, including English amateurs Craig Hinton and Tom Lewis, qualified Tuesday. Six more will advance when qualifying is completed on Wednesday.
