Campbell was one leg up and had the perfect chance to extend his lead, requiring just 24.
But he got his throw at the double 12 horribly wrong and it landed in nine.
The Canadian was then left with 15 and he eyed up the three.
But once again, his dart was a disaster and it fell into the neighbouring 17 to bust his score.
