Apr5 Howell audio
Published: Last updated:
David Howell nailed a spectacular eagle to get to two-under par and a spot right at the top of the Masters leaderboard.
The Brit is tied third this evening, after a mixed round which included a three at the par-5 15th.
He said: “I hit my best drive of the day down there, and had about 215 to the front. I nailed a three-iron, it landed just short and rolled up to the flag. Now I’m looking forward to receiving some crystal!”
He’s not getting ahead of himself, but he’s happy to be in contention on such a tough golf course.
He added: “It’s going to be a tough week. We all wished for the course to play firmer after the rain of the last few years, but now it’s hard and fast, we should be careful what we wish for.”
You can hear Howell describe his round – and that eagle – in his own words here.
