Palm Desert, Calif. ? Chad Campbell let one slip away a week ago.

Not this time.

Campbell, who hadn’t had much success in the past when he went into the final day with a lead, shot a scrambling 71 Sunday to hold off Scott Verplank and Jesper Parnevik and win the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

“It’s nice to come back after the way things worked out last Sunday, to come out today and get the job done,” said Campbell, who was tied with David Toms for the lead in Hawaii last week before shooting a closing 70 to Toms’ winning 65.

Campbell took the Hope lead in the second round of the 90-hole tournament and never gave it up, although Verplank briefly drew even early in the closing round.

Campbell’s 1-under round put him at 25-under 335, three shots in front of Verplank and 2000 Hope champion Parnevik.

Verplank, one stroke behind Campbell beginning the day, had a 73, and Parnevik made a charge with a 67 during a round when gusty wind in the afternoon made the new Classic Course at Northstar tricky.

“None of us played any good, to be honest,” Verplank said. “The wind picked up, the golf course changes immensely. I was just a little quick. I don’t know whether it was the wind or nerves or whatever it was.”

John Huston finished fourth with a 68 and 339 total. Former Hope winners Phil Mickelson and Mike Weir tied for fifth with John Senden. Mickelson, the tournament champion in 2002 and 2004, shot a 71 to finish at 19 under along with Weir (70) and Senden (73).
