Howell says best yet to come as title famine ends

Phil Casey

Howell carded a final round 65 at the BMW International Open for a 23-under-par total and his first title since the Dubai Desert Classic in 1999.

The 30-year-old finished one shot ahead of former British Open champion John Daly and Australian Brett Rumford, with Sweden's Niclas Fasth and Dane Soren Kjeldsen a shot further back.
