DAVID Howell looks set to miss the cut at the Nordea Masters today.

The Swindon star finished his second round in Malmö one-over-par after bogeying two of his final three holes.

And with the cut to make the final two rounds set at one-under-par, the Broome Manor pro is likely to be heading home early for his third consecutive tournament.

Howell began his second round in Sweden on the 10th hole and after a birdie three on 14, things were looking up for the 39-year-old.

He then handed that shot back on 16 but finished his first nine holes one-under with a birdie on 18.

The former Ryder Cup winner then parred holes one to six before bogey fives on seven and nine left his round, and tournament, in tatters.
