Howell grabs share of lead

Three birdies lifted Britain’s David Howell into a share of second place when the US Tour’s International tournament resumed in Colorado today.

Howell, joint ninth after the opening round of an event where birdies earn two points and eagles five, improved his total to 14 over the first 10 holes to overtake overnight pacesetter Mathias Gronberg. But Australian John Senden moved his score onto 16 points to lead the star-studded field.
