SWINDON’S David Howell tees off this afternoon in the Porsche European Open in Germany.

The Broome Manor pro will be looking to build on his top 25 finish at the Open D’Italia last weekend when he starts his round at Bad Greisbach.

Howell is in fine form, having hit four under-par rounds in Monza, and remains firmly inside the top 100 in the world and 22nd in the Order of Merit.

The 40-year-old tees off from the first tee alongside fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee at 1.10pm.
