Golf: Kiwi number 1 exits World Matchplay

Michael Campbell is out of the World Matchplay Golf Championship in Melbourne.

The fifth seed has been upset in the third round by Sweden's Pierre Fulke 1-up.

It was an engrossing contest which went to the 18th hole before Campbell just missed a 12-footer for birdie and Fulke made his monster 30-foot effort.

Fulke will now meet Brad Faxon in today's quarter-finals after the American upset countryman Tom Lehman 1-up.

Other upsets in the third round saw seventh seed Justin Leonard hammered six and five by Steve Stricker while Australian Stuart Appleby was beaten two and one by Japan's Toru Taniguchi.
