New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell is two tournaments away from winning the European Tour's order of merit.

Campbell gets into action tomorrow night at the $10 million WGC Amex Championship in San Francisco, up against the world's top 50 players and the top earners on the six major tours.

Campbell leads the money earners on the European tour, with Scot Colin Montgomerie and South African Retief Goosen not far behind.

He says he cannot afford to worry about Montgomerie, who has closed in on him with a win at the recent Dunhill Invitational.

Campbell says it is a selfish game and he will not be thinking about what the others are doing.

New Zealand caddie Steve Williams is back carrying Tiger Woods' bag, following a break for the birth of his first child.
