Campbell's 'game-changing' Beijing boost

BEIJING - Canada's Peter Campbell leapt from 55th to ninth on the PGA Tour Series-China order of merit with 334,350 yuan ($49,000) following his surprise win in the Beijing Championship on the weekend.

Only five events remain in the race to finish in the top-five and earn status on next year's Web.com Tour, with the Tour resuming with the Suzhou Open at Jinji Lake Golf Club from Aug 30-Sept 2 and then moving on to the Qinhuangdao Championship at Qinhuangdao Poly Golf Club from Sept 6-9.

Picking up the 270,000 yuan winner's check at Topwin Golf and Country Club capped a remarkable change in fortunes for the 35-year-old Campbell.
