McDowell and Price go clear at Woburn

IRELAND'S Graeme McDowell is the joint leader of the Heritage at Woburn along with 2002 Ryder Cup hero Phillip Price from Wales.

The duo are one shot clear of Patrick Sjoland as several of the 2004 European Ryder Cup team, including Colin Montgomerie, failed to make the cut. Pádraig Harrington and David Howell are the only Ryder Cup men left.

Seven of the 12 Detroit heroes entered the £1.3million tournament originally, but Paul McGinley, Paul Casey and Thomas Levet pulled out before the start and they were joined on the sidelines last night Montgomerie and Ian Poulter both missed the cut on four over par.
