U.S. Open champion Michael Campbell won the World Match Play Championship on Sunday by beating Paul McGinley 2 and 1 in the final. Campbell took advantage of some errors by the Irishman on the closing holes at Wentworth to wrap up the match with a chip to 1 foot on the 35th green. The victory earned Campbell 1 million pounds (US$ 1.8 million; ?1.48 million), the largest prize in golf.
