Howell’s Views on First Round Lead
One great day doesn’t mean you are going to have another three great rounds, but if I continue to play like this I will have a chance of another European Tour title.
This is such a big event and the added bonus is that it is run by my management company, ISM, so all the guys are here for one of the few occasions of the season.
It’s one day at a time though because it’s going to be tough to play as well as I did today in all four rounds.
I’m injury free at the moment which is a blessing although the guys in the Red Bull physic unit can feel that there has been a problem with my shoulder. My back problems seem to be behind me, if you’ll pardon the pun, but the shoulder strain has hung around longer, but at the moment things seem fine.
I’ve clicked this week because I’ve been doing a lot of hard work with my coach Clive Tucker. We joked on the range that it would be nice to shoot 65, come in and then watch everyone struggle in the rain. I just missed that score, but the rest could come true. We’ll see.
