Palm Desert, Calif. ? Chad Campbell’s 5-under 67 was barely enough to keep him in front Saturday in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, with Scott Verplank’s 64 moving him within one shot of the lead.

Campbell kept up his steady play, with six birdies and a lone bogey at the new Classic Club at Northstar to go to 24-under 264 through four days of the 90-hole tournament. Verplank crafted his 8-under round at Bermuda Dunes Country Club, one of four courses used for the first four days of the tournament.
