DAVID Howell has chosen to take a break from competitive European Tour action with the BMW Championship at Wentworth just days away.
The Swindon star, whose inconsistent form of late has seen him record both top 20 finishes and failures to make the cut, will take the time to recuperate ahead of the tournament he won in 2006.
Meanwhile, the European Tour resumes action with a shortened field at the Iberdrolla Open Cala Millor Mallorca at Pula Golf Club.
With many of the sport’s star names reluctant to enter, the tournament offers an opportunity for lesser-known golfers to establish themselves as contenders on the tour.
