Howell ends wait for win

RYDER CUP star David Howell yesterday claimed a long overdue second European Tour title in the BMW International Open.

Howell carded a final round 65 in Munich for a 23 under par total and his first victory 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.
