Howell hopes to light up Hong Kong

Fresh from switching on the Swindon Christmas decorations, Ryder Cup hero David Howell has flown to the bright lights of Hong Kong this week looking for the one thing which would complete his year.

Playing a crucial part in the record-breaking victory over the Americans and moving up from 101st to 40th in the world has made 2004 what Howell calls “a fantastic year – unbelievable really”.
