His putting wasn't terrible I don't think - the greens are just that difficult. You saw Campbell do a few pitch and runs onto the green. The lob wedge was a lot less useful at this tourney, there were a lot of good shots being played long the ground, like at the British.

On the Golf Channel today they were focused almost entirely on how he was playing a lot of shots on the ground as opposed to hitting them high in the air when around the greens.
