# Good on ya Cambo!

![Michael Campbell wins US Open](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063605im_/http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/campbellwin.JPG)Congrats to fellow Wellington boy Michael Campbell for [winning the U.S. Open](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063605/http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?c_id=4&ObjectID=10331695) in golf today! A huuuge achievement! And I love [this quote from him afterwards](https://web.archive.org/web/20060508063605/http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?c_id=4&ObjectID=10331686):

“I thought before the round started, nobody’s really taking any special notice of me. Just a quiet kiwi hanging around, there and thereabouts. If I play well, I could win this thing. Here’s a message to people back home in New Zealand: ‘If I can win a tournament like this, so can you!'”

OK, I admit – it’s great to be a kiwi 🙂
