Despite eight time champs ahead of him, Campbell sits at No 3 in overall wins while boasting a unique feat of never losing to bil Tutwiler in finals, including a title victory over him. Edgar Tutwiler, once of Charleston and now in Indianapolis, is highlighted as a rival who defeated Campbell six times in finals.

Bill Won His Mast and the Canterbury Finale
The piece recalls Bill Campbell defeating Tut Tutwiler 1 up in the 1984 U S Amateur final at Canterbury. It notes Tutwiler’s MW West Virginia dominance and Campbell’s gracious victory. It laments that a rematch may not occur and contrasts match play thrills with stroke play.
Campbell aims for another West Virginia Amateur title
As the West Virginia Amateur returns, Campbell eyes a ninth title at White Sulphur Springs where Jules Pollock, winner of the first state amass in 1919 14 15, holds second with nine. Pollock trails Tutwiler's 11, and Snead would warn Campbell that age slips irons and steady play over time.
