SWINDON'S David Howell carded an eagle three on his way to a sizzling third round of 67 at the Turkish Open in Antalya.

The former world number nine shot five-under-par at Montgomerie Maxx Royal which took him to seven-under overall and tied-37th at the time of writing.

That included an eagle at the par-five first - Howell's 10th hole of the day - and birdies on the final three holes of the round.

The Turkish Open is the third event of the European Tour's Final Series and Howell will complete his tournament tomorrow.
