Campbell moves up the field at Royal Birkdale

New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell has moved up to 48th place after the third round of the British Open at Royal Birkdale played in blustery conditions.

Campbell fired a four over par 74 to sit at 13 over for the tournament, 10 shots behind leader Greg Norman.

Even par has been the best round of the day.

Campbell says four over in tough conditions was a good score and he believes the pendulum is now swinging in the right direction after a tough start to the year.

Norman's three over round through 16 holes has him one shot ahead of Ireland's Padraig Harrington and Korean KJ Choi.
