Kenny Bowen of South Charleston predicts a tough hash for Bill Campbell at the West Virginia Amateur Golf Tournament starting at Old White in White Sulphur Springs. He cites Campbell’s consistency and notes many challengers including Frankie Sexton and Lefty Bob Johnson as potential winners, with a likely winning score around 280. Bowen, though, admits his own form is weak and that several players are capable of victory.
